Media aide to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Paul Ibe, has raised issues over what he described as a rising development by the Presidency of not disclosing the return dates of President Bola Tinubu’s international journeys.

Reacting in a put up on X, Atiku’s media aide Paul Ibe criticised the shortage of readability, suggesting it had develop into a recurring apply at any time when the President travels overseas.

“What is that this new development of not giving a date of the return of the President at any time when he’s travelling out?” he wrote.

In a sarcastic follow-up, he hinted that the omission may be intentional.

“Is it to see if a number of days in France to lounge and drink piña colada with the French squad will be squeezed in?” he added.

Politics Nigeria remembers that President Tinubu left Abuja on Sunday, January 26, 2026, for a state go to to the Republic of Türkiye.

In an announcement issued on Sunday, the Presidency described the journey as a multi-day diplomatic engagement aimed toward strengthening bilateral relations between Nigeria and Türkiye throughout key sectors.

Nevertheless, the assertion didn’t specify the precise length of the go to, noting solely that the President would return “on the conclusion of the go to.”
