Solomon Dalung, the former minister of sports, has heavily criticised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for taking a business vacation to Europe.
Dalung described Tinubu as a “vacation president” who was created by “technical glitches” at the Independent National Electoral Commission, or INEC.
According to previous reports by NaijaEyes, Tinubu left Abuja on September 4 to start a 10-day working vacation in Europe as part of his 2025 yearly leave, as notified by the Presidency.
A statement signed by the President’s Special Advisor on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, states that Tinubu will travel between France and the UK before going back to Nigeria.
Dalung claimed in a post on X on Thursday that the country now has a leader who values leisure as Nigerians deal with increasing insecurity as a result of the 2023 elections.
“This is the tragic outcome of INEC’s so-called technical glitches — a conspiracy that has produced a vacation president whose idea of a social contract with Nigerians is sheer entitlement.
“At a time of escalating insecurity, Tinubu chooses leisure in Europe while the nation drifts. Nigeria is on autopilot, navigating turbulence with clueless, sleeping pilots. Lord, have mercy on this country,” he wrote.
