Atiku faults Tinubu over three-week European vacation

President Bola Tinubu has embarked on a three-week vacation to Europe as part of his annual leave. According to Sunday Dare, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Public Communication, the vacation is well-deserved and will allow the President to "refuel" after months of intense engagement with state matters, including decisions on security and the economy.

The President's leave comes amid Nigeria's economic hardship and insecurity. Atiku Abubakar, a critic of the President, has questioned Tinubu's leadership, faulting him for the timing of his vacation.

Tinubu's vacation is expected to last for three weeks, during which time he will be away from Nigeria, but according to Dare, governance will continue and the President will remain engaged with government affairs while abroad.
