Sowore Questions Governance as Tinubu and Shettima Leave Nigeria
Omoyele Sowore, the 2027 presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), has publicly criticized President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima for their absence from Nigeria without a formal power transfer. President Tinubu has been on a working vacation in Europe since August 30, 2026, as part of his annual leave.
Meanwhile, Vice President Shettima left Abuja on a 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 who is currently in charge of the government, noting that Tinubu has been away for over 21 days and that there are no handover notes available.
His remarks highlight the potential governance issues arising from the absence of both the President and Vice President.
