Opposition Questions Tinubu’s Leave as President and Vice President Remain Abroad

President Bola Tinubu’s working vacation, which began on 30 August, has prompted opposition figures to question the constitutional arrangements for the exercise of presidential powers. Atiku Abubakar and the African Democratic Congress said the public should be informed about who is in charge while Tinubu is away and Vice President Kashim Shettima leads Nigeria’s delegation to the UN General Assembly in New York. The Presidency says there is no leadership vacuum. The same news brief also reports a judicial inquiry into the deaths of 37 miners in Niger State, fresh violence in Plateau, an Ebola alert by the NCDC, and approval for an offshore gas project linked to Nigeria LNG’s expansion.
