Phrank Shaibu, an aide to former Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has mocked the Presidency over President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima’s absence from Nigeria.

Shaibu said while Tinubu was drinking wine in France, Shettima was on a sightseeing in Sweden.

Reacting to the Presidency’s remark regarding Tinubu and Shettima’s absence from the country, Shaibu said Nigeria is governing itself.

Tinubu’s spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, said their is no vacuum in governance despite the duo’s absence from the country.

Onanuga said all organs of government are working while Tinubu is on vacation in Europe and Shettima on a working visit to Sweden.

He had said: “Following enquiries by journalists as to who is in charge of our country as the President and Vice President are out of the country, we want to clarify:

“It is important to note that the President and Vice President are fully engaged with the nation’s affairs, even while they are away. There is no leadership vacuum in the country.”

Reacting, Shaibu faulted Nigerians questioning the whereabouts of Tinubu and his Vice.

Posting on X, Shaibu wrote: “The Presidency is absolutely right! The President and his Vice can be totally missing in action, after all Tinubu is busy savouring wine in France and Shettima is off sightseeing in Sweden. Why would we worry? Nigeria has been practically running itself since they came to power.”

Cardoso also pointed out that many investors now find Nigeria attractive and are coming in to invest in the economy.

“Before, many potential investors were on the sidelines. Now, it’s amazing to see how many have stepped forward to invest in Nigeria.” he said.
