Tinubu Set to Return to Lagos as Debate Grows Over Extended Foreign Stay

President Bola Tinubu is expected to return to Lagos on Sunday after a working vacation in Europe. He is expected to remain in Lagos for up to a week before travelling to Abuja. Tinubu left Nigeria for London on August 30 for a three-week annual leave and working vacation. He later travelled to Paris, while the presidency said he continued to oversee government affairs from abroad. His extended absence has sparked debate over Section 145 of the Constitution, which addresses the transfer of presidential powers during a president’s vacation. Some lawmakers and opposition figures have asked whether the required written declaration was sent to the National Assembly, while Senate President Godswill Akpabio maintains that there is no vacancy in the presidency.
