Dauda Lawal Defends Tinubu's Working Leave in Europe

Dauda Lawal, the governor of Zamfara State, has defended President Bola Tinubu against criticism regarding his absence from the 81st United Nations General Assembly. Lawal stated during an appearance on Channels Television’s Inside Sources that Tinubu is currently on an extended working vacation in Europe as part of his annual leave.

He emphasized that Tinubu had made it clear that he was going on a working leave and is continuing to carry out his official responsibilities while abroad. Lawal asserted that Nigeria is evolving and that the President can work from anywhere, highlighting the government's investment in technology to facilitate this.

He dismissed concerns about Tinubu's work location, insisting that there is nothing controversial about the arrangement, as the President is not merely resting but actively working for Nigeria.
