Both President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima are currently outside Nigeria, leading to concerns about governance in the country. President Tinubu is on medical leave in Europe, with reports suggesting he may be in London following a previous trip to Saudi Arabia for the World Economic Forum. The Nigerian government has not provided clear details on the president’s extended stay abroad.
Meanwhile, Vice President Shettima recently left Nigeria for Sweden to engage in bilateral talks, leaving the country without its top leaders. This has raised questions about leadership continuity and whether proper power transmission occurred before these trips. Some critics are concerned about the frequency of foreign trips by both officials and the potential impact on domestic governance.
