Atiku Accuses Tinubu of Concealing France Trip Plans
Atiku Abubakar, the former Vice President and presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has claimed that President Bola Tinubu is actually traveling to France, not Makkah, as stated by the presidency. In a statement released by Phrank Shaibu, the Director of Strategic Communication for the ADC Presidential Campaign Council, Atiku asserted that credible intelligence suggests the Umrah pilgrimage announcement is a smokescreen.
He raised concerns about the trip's connection to Tinubu's health and a reported $20 billion loan request involving a French business partner. Atiku called for the Presidency to clarify these issues and provide a detailed itinerary for the President.
He challenged the government to release daily, date-stamped photographs and videos of Tinubu at the Kaaba during Umrah, emphasizing the need for transparency in a trip presented as a spiritual mission for Nigeria.
