Tinubu Takes Annual Leave Amid Criticism Over Fuel Tax Imposition

Former Lagos State Governor, Bola Tinubu, has embarked on a ten-day annual leave to Europe, as confirmed by his Special Adviser, Bayo Onanuga. Tinubu's departure coincides with his reaction to the new 5% tax on refined fossil fuel sales, criticizing the government for imposing additional burdens on Nigerians.

The tax was announced by the government as a means to generate revenue. Tinubu's absence comes amidst his presidential aspirations for the 2023 general elections.

The move has sparked discussions on the impact of the fuel tax on citizens and the promises made by political figures.
