Activist and politician Aisha Yesufu has criticized the Presidency’s claim that there is no leadership vacuum in Nigeria in the absence of President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima.
Yesufu said no one seemed to notice their absence, a comment that sparked a debate on social media about the current state of governance in the country.
President Tinubu is currently on a two-week vacation in Europe, while Vice President Shettima left Nigeria for Sweden on Wednesday for two days of official business.
The dual absence of the country’s top leadership has raised eyebrows and raised concerns among the people.
Responding to criticism over the absence of the President and Vice President, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu State’s Special Assistant on Information and Strategy, defended the administration, saying all organs of government were operating effectively despite the absence of the President and Vice President. He claimed that it continues to function.
“It is important to note that the President and the Vice President are fully committed to the affairs of the country even when they are on the go. There is no leadership vacuum in this country,” Onanuga said. He also said President Tinubu is expected to return home soon before his vacation officially ends.
In response, Yesufu posted on X: No one will notice the absence of seat warmers. ”
