The Presidency has assured Nigerians that President Bola Tinubu remained fully in charge of the country’s affairs despite his ongoing stay in Europe, adding that he is expected to return to Nigeria after the Easter holidays.
In a statement issued on Thursday by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the State House clarified that the President’s absence was temporary and consistent with the earlier communicated timeframe of approximately two weeks.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu remains fully engaged in Nigeria’s governance even though he is away in Europe,” the statement read. “His return to Abuja and the resumption of duties at Aso Villa will follow the conclusion of the Easter holiday.”
According to the Presidency, Tinubu left Paris for London over the weekend and has remained in constant communication with top government officials at home.
It noted that he continues to issue directives on key national matters, including recent security developments across the country.
The Presidency emphasised that the President’s commitment to duty remains steadfast and that there has been no disruption to the administration’s activities during his absence.
“We appreciate the public’s concern and assure all Nigerians that governance proceeds without interruption,” Onanuga stated.
