Despite being out of the country for nearly two weeks, President Bola Tinubu remains actively engaged in governing Nigeria from Europe, the Presidency said on Thursday.
In a statement signed by Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, it was confirmed that the President, who recently traveled from Paris to London, is in “constant communication with key government officials” and “remains fully engaged in Nigeria’s governance.”
The Presidency emphasized that Tinubu’s absence is temporary and aligns with a previously communicated two-week timeframe.
Onanuga assured citizens that “the President’s commitment to his duties remains unwavering,” noting that Tinubu has issued “directives to security chiefs to address emerging threats in some parts of the country.”
These actions, he said, underscore Tinubu’s active role despite his physical absence.
Tinubu is expected to return to Abuja after the Easter holidays and resume duties at the Aso Villa. “We appreciate the public’s concern and assure all Nigerians that governance proceeds without interruption,” Onanuga added, urging the public to remain calm.
The statement, titled Statement On President Tinubu’s Return To Nigeria, reiterates that leadership continues seamlessly under the President’s direction.
