Presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, has criticized President Bola Tinubu for taking a three-week vacation in Europe amid widespread hardship in Nigeria. Atiku accused Tinubu's absence as a "disturbing vacuum of political leadership" contrary to the presence of a constitutional vacuum. The former vice-president contrasted Tinubu's trip with his own, stating that the responsibilities of a sitting president differ from those of a private citizen.
Atiku highlighted the rising living costs, food insecurity, high transport fares, and insecurity as challenges faced by Nigerians. He argued that these issues required the President’s presence in the country; "Consider what Bola Tinubu is leaving behind. Petrol priced beyond the reach of ordinary people. Families rationing food.
Transport fares that have turned a journey to one’s own village into a luxury. Insecurity that buries Nigerians week after week," Atiku said.
