UK vacation: Tinubu insensitive to Nigerians’ suffering – Lamido

Former Jigawa State Governor, Sule Lamido, has expressed disapproval of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s decision to take a two-week vacation outside Nigeria amidst the country’s ongoing economic and security crises.

In a Facebook post, Lamido questioned the President’s choice to leave the country for a retreat at a time when Nigerians are facing significant hardships.

He criticized Tinubu for planning to reflect on his administration’s economic reforms from Europe, stating that such a move shows a lack of empathy for the suffering of ordinary Nigerians.

“Has he (President Tinubu) the human empathy, compassion, love, care, and concern to ponder and reflect in the comfort zone of Europe on Nigerians’ gory situations?” Lamido wrote.

He accused the administration of consciously unleashing pain and agony on the people.

Lamido referenced the biblical story of Pharaoh and Moses, suggesting a disconnect between leadership and the struggles of the masses in Nigeria.

Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, stated that the vacation would serve as a “working retreat” for the President to reflect on his administration’s economic reforms.

The President is expected to return after the vacation period ends.
