According to a statement released by the ADC's Presidential Campaign Council, the President's prolonged absence has raised concerns among Nigerians. ADC's Director of Media and Publicity, Kola Ologbondiyan, called for full disclosure from the Presidency six days after the expiration of Tinubu's originally announced three-week vacation. The ADC emphasized that the President's continued absence, without clear communication regarding his whereabouts or the reasons for his extended stay, has eroded public trust. They highlighted that the office of the President is a public trust, and the Nigerian electorate, who voted Tinubu into office, have a right to know where their president is and who is exercising presidential authority while he is abroad.

The ADC stressed that the country cannot afford uncertainty at the highest level of government during these trying times.",
