After a two-week absence, President Tinubu returns to Nigeria discreetly following diplomatic visits to the Netherlands and Saudi Arabia. Speculations arose over his whereabouts, prompting concerns.
President Bola Tinubu's return to Abuja from a two-week diplomatic journey spanning the Netherlands and Saudi Arabia marks his reentry into the Nigerian political landscape amidst mounting concerns.
The trip, commencing with official meetings in the Netherlands, included discussions with Dutch dignitaries and participation in business forums. Despite initial speculation about his whereabouts following the World Economic Forum summit in Riyadh, Tinubu's return confirms his active engagement in international diplomacy.
His reappearance coincides with criticism from political rivals, notably former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, who accused Tinubu of excessive globetrotting amidst economic challenges at home.
However, the presidency defended Tinubu's diplomatic efforts, citing significant foreign investments secured during his tenure. Tinubu's return prompts renewed scrutiny of his political ambitions and policy priorities amid Nigeria's evolving economic landscape.
