Baba-Ahmed Questions Tinubu, Shettima's Absence in Nigeria
Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, the National Chairman of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), raised concerns regarding the simultaneous absence of President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima from Nigeria. Speaking at the first national summit of opposition political leaders in Abuja on Monday, Baba-Ahmed questioned who is currently overseeing the country’s affairs during their absence, labeling the situation as unprecedented in Nigeria's history.
His remarks followed President Tinubu's departure from Abuja for a three-week vacation in Europe, which was announced by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga. Tinubu's vacation is part of his 2026 annual leave, with London, United Kingdom, identified as his first destination.
He is expected to return to Nigeria after this working vacation to resume activities in preparation for the January 2027 presidential election campaign.
