Tinubu can rule Nigeria from anywhere  – Presidency insists

The Presidency has insisted that President Bola Tinubu can govern Nigeria from anywhere. A statement by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga on Sunday said the President did not need to be in Abuja physically to perform his duties, adding that Tinubu is hale and hearty. Onanuga was responding to criticisms about the President’s prolonged vacation after exhausting the official three weeks. Nigerians have expressed concern over the absence of the President who was supposed to return to the country last week. Opposition figures have asked for information on the whereabouts of the President. Responding, Onanuga said, “Nigeria’s President is hale and hearty. He has been on a working vacation, which he is perfectly entitled to. “In this digital age, he does not need to be physically present in Abuja to do the work for which he was elected in 2023. “And we have seen that he has indeed been working, meeting investors in France, most recently facilitating a $7 billion deep-sea port in Ogun Waterside, an initiative of the Ogun State Government.” Tinubu can rule Nigeria from anywhere – Presidency insists

Seriake Dickson meets NDC executives in UK, Germany

The national leader of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Seriake Dickson, has met with the party’s executives in the UK and Germany. Dickson disclosed this in a post on his verified X handle on Sunday, stating that it was his one-week working visit to Europe. He said the visit is part of efforts to boost the party’s structure and deepen the involvement of its members outside Nigeria ahead of the 2027 general elections. According to him, the visit followed almost a year of efforts to build the party and address some of its challenges. The former Bayelsa state governor expressed gratitude to the diaspora executives for their support, urging them to intensify their activities and mobilise eligible voters ahead of the elections. “After almost a year building the NDC and resolving its challenges, I decided to embark on a one-week working visit to Europe,” Dickson said. The party leaders called on the NDC members in the diaspora to organise themselves, especially those registered to vote, and participate actively in the electoral process. The Bayelsa Senator equally urged the diaspora chapters to hold conferences and conventions, assuring them that he and other members of the party’s leadership would make efforts to attend such gatherings.
