Sowore Questions Nigeria's Leadership Amid Tinubu, Shettima Absences
Omoyele Sowore, the 2027 presidential candidate for the African Action Congress, has publicly criticized President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima for their absence from Nigeria. President Tinubu has been on a working vacation in Europe since August 30, while Vice President Shettima left Abuja on Saturday to represent Tinubu at the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York City, arriving on Sunday.
Sowore expressed his concerns in a Facebook post, questioning the leadership of the country during their absence, noting that Tinubu has been away for over 21 days without formally transferring power. He highlighted the lack of handover notes and asked, “Who is in charge of Nigeria at the moment?” This situation raises questions about governance and authority while the top leaders are out of the country.
