Tinubu Faces Criticism Over Lagos Traffic Disruptions
Roadblocks and traffic disruptions were reported in Lagos as President Bola Ahmed Tinubu returned from Paris, where he had spent part of his working vacation. Lawyer and activist Inibehe Effiong expressed his frustration on X about the security arrangements, stating he encountered unusual roadblocks while traveling to catch a flight in Abuja.
Effiong criticized the lockdown at the Lagos airport, questioning why the busiest airport in Nigeria was shut down for hours in anticipation of Tinubu's arrival. He condemned the administration's policies, citing mass poverty and corruption, and questioned the effectiveness of the security measures.
Tinubu's return was partly to honor the late Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola's legacy, and he is expected to attend a movie premiere commemorating Abiola at the Wole Soyinka National Theatre in Iganmu as part of Nigeria's 66th Independence anniversary activities. Tinubu had left Abuja on August 30 for his working vacation in Europe.
