Atiku Abubakar Demands Proof of Tinubu's Umrah Trip
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has requested that President Bola Tinubu provide daily photographic and video evidence of his presence in Makkah during his Umrah pilgrimage. In a statement issued by Phrank Shaibu, Director of Strategic Communication of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) Presidential Campaign Council, Atiku alleged that Tinubu's actual destination might be France.
He expressed concerns that the pilgrimage announcement could serve as a "smokescreen or subterfuge" and suggested that Tinubu might make a brief appearance in Makkah before heading to France. Atiku questioned whether the trip was related to the President's health and a reported $20 billion loan request involving a French business partner.
He urged the Presidency to disclose Tinubu's full itinerary and provide daily, date-stamped evidence of his activities in Makkah, stating that Nigerians deserve transparency regarding the trip's funding and purpose.
