President Free to Travel Anywhere He Desires with Taxpayers’ Money – Presidency Addresses Concerns Over Tinubu’s Trip from UK to France
The Presidency has clarified that President Bola Tinubu remains on his two-week leave and is free to travel wherever he wishes.
This statement comes in light of the controversy surrounding his recent journey from the United Kingdom to France.
President Tinubu departed Abuja on October 2 for a two-week vacation, described as a working vacation intended for reflection on his administration’s economic reforms.
However, his unexpected trip to France has sparked public interest and speculation regarding the nature of his leave and how he keeps wasting taxpayers’ money on his luxury lifestyle while many Nigerians are living in abject poverty.
Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to President Tinubu on Information and Strategy, emphasized that the President is not confined to the UK during this period.

“President Tinubu is on leave for two weeks. He is not restricted to the UK. It is his private time. He can go anywhere he so desires. He is still observing his leave,” Onanuga stated.
Prior to his trip to France, President Tinubu had engaged in “productive discussions” with his Special Assistant, Ibrahim Kabir Masari, at his private residence in the UK. Masari shared details of their meeting on his verified X handle, indicating that they discussed important matters before traveling to Paris.
The President’s initial departure for the UK was part of his annual leave, which has now raised questions about the transparency of his vacation schedule.
