President Bola Tinubu has been slammed by former Jigawa State Governor, Alhaji Sule Lamido for embarking on a two-week vacation in the United Kingdom, UK while Nigerians are suffering.

He accused Tinubu of lacking empathy for the suffering masses.

On Wednesday, the president departed Nigeria to the UK to commence a two-week vacation.

Disclosing this, Tinubu’s Special Advisor on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said the president’s trip was part of his annual leave.

“He will use the two weeks as a working vacation and a retreat to reflect on his administration’s economic reforms.

“He will return to the country after the leave expires,” the statement said.

Reacting, Lamido accused president Tinubu of deliberately inflicting hardship on Nigerians.

In a Facebook post entitled: “Deaf, Dumb, Confounded,” Lamido said: “Does President Tinubu have the human empathy, compassion, love, care, and concern to ponder and reflect on Nigerians’ dire situations while in the comfort of Europe?”
