President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has once again delayed his return to Nigeria from his working vacation in Europe, with his arrival now anticipated on Tuesday, September 29. Initially expected to come back this weekend, the revised return date marks the second time Tinubu’s return has been postponed since he began a three-week working vacation on August 30.
The President is set to return two days before Nigeria commemorates its 66th Independence anniversary. The latest adjustment to his travel plans followed a last-minute change, though no specific reason for the delay has been provided. This means Tinubu’s working vacation has now surpassed the originally announced three-week period.
He departed Abuja on August 30 for a European trip, starting in London. Despite being on this extended leave, Tinubu has maintained communication with Nigerian officials and directed government affairs remotely, holding official engagements in France after moving there from the UK. The Presidency insists that Nigeria is represented fully by Vice President Kashim Shettima, who has delivered Nigeria’s national statement at the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
Critics, including opposition figures and presidential candidate Peter Obi, have questioned Tinubu’s prolonged absence.
