Former presidential spokesperson and renowned journalist, Reuben Abati, has raised a pertinent question regarding the whereabouts of Nigerian President, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

Abati’s keen observation highlights that President Tinubu has been conspicuously absent from the public eye for several days, with no official statement clarifying his location, consequently sparking concerns about his well-being.

In his inquiry, Abati directed attention to the President’s handlers, emphasizing the need for transparency and regular updates to keep the citizens informed about their leader’s activities.

Abati underscored that the last public sighting of Tinubu was during the nation’s 63rd independence anniversary celebrations on October 1, shortly after his return from an extended trip to New York for the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).

The President’s whereabouts remained unknown until his return to Nigeria on the night of September 29, despite unconfirmed reports suggesting he might have flown to Paris from New York.

During his appearance on the Arsie TV Morning Show, Abati pointed out the absence of key government activities, such as council meetings, the inauguration of recently screened Ministers, and the timely execution of essential government functions.

Additionally, Abati noted that President Tinubu has not been participating in official functions nor receiving guests at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa. 

Instead, Vice President Kashim Shettima has been representing the government in various public engagements.
