You’re raising embarrassing questions, Tinubu can travel anywhere – Abati tells Atiku

Former presidential aide Reuben Abati has dismissed Atiku Abubakar's criticism of President Bola Tinubu's three-week European vacation as "embarrassing" and poorly researched. Abati defended Tinubu's decision to embark on the trip, stating that the president is entitled to travel and can go wherever he wishes, as long as his absence does not exceed the 21-day limit outlined in Section 145 of the 1999 Constitution.

Abati noted that the presidency has attempted to stay within this threshold, and there is no evidence that Tinubu has handed over power during his absence. He also pointed out that the Vice President was in Angola at the time of Tinubu's travel to Europe.
