The Allied People’s Movement (APM) has called on the Nigerian presidency to disclose information regarding President Bola Tinubu’s prolonged absence from the country, which has raised concerns about his health. In a statement, the APM’s National Publicity Secretary, Abubakar Yusuf, emphasized that the government must provide details about the president’s health status, the purpose of his extended European trip, and his itinerary while he is away.

Yusuf highlighted the fact that President Tinubu chose to take a lengthy vacation at a time when his administration is facing numerous security and economic challenges. The APM questioned whether the president’s decision to leave is linked to the FBI report on a drug-related case, which has fueled suspicions that he may have stepped down from his duties or become incapacitated.

The party stressed that while it is common for individuals to face health issues, it is essential for the presidency to address the concerns of Nigerians openly. Yusuf also criticized President Tinubu’s performance in office, noting that his poor leadership decisions have led to a significant rise in poverty, strained the nation’s finances, and increased insecurity.

He urged the president to reconsider his plans to run for re-election in 2027, suggesting that a younger, more energetic candidate like Engr. Seyi Makinde, who has achieved notable success in Oyo State, should be considered instead.
