PDP Criticizes Tinubu for UNGA Absence During Vacation
The Tanimu Turaki-led faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has condemned President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for extending his vacation in Europe and not attending the 81st United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). The party's National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Ini Ememobong, stated that the President's absence is an "unacceptable abdication" of his presidential responsibilities, especially during a time of significant national challenges such as insecurity and economic difficulties.
Tinubu began his vacation on 30 August, initially planned for three weeks, and the Presidency later announced an extension. The PDP expressed disappointment with the Presidency's justification for the President's absence, emphasizing that he should have attended the UNGA to engage with world leaders on Nigeria's issues.
The party urged Nigerians to consider this situation when making choices in the upcoming 2027 presidential election, asserting that citizens have the right to demand accountability from their leaders.
