President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has extended his working vacation by a few days, according to his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga. The President had initially departed for London on August 30 for a three-week vacation. He visited Paris where he met with French President Emmanuel Macron and businessman Vincent Bollore.

Onanuga stated that although the President has been away, he has continued to stay informed and direct national affairs. Vice President Kashim Shettima has been representing Tinubu at various official functions in his absence. Shettima had previously left for New York on September 20 for the UN General Assembly, with Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, also representing Tinubu.

Atiku Abubakar, the former Vice President, has questioned the country's governance during Tinubu's vacation, expressing concerns over security issues and rising fuel prices. He demanded a clear explanation of who is currently exercising the powers of the President, given that both the President and Vice President are currently abroad.
