ABUJA (CONVERSEER) – The spokesman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Bolaji Abdullahi, has carpeted President Bola Tinubu for travelling to Europe despite the uncertain security situation in the country.
In a post on his X handle on Sunday, Abdullahi cited the recent bomb blast in Zamfara State that killed several travellers and injured a few others.
The bomb was reportedly planted on the highway by yet to be apprehended terrorists who have been terrorising sizeable parts of the state in the past few years.
The post read, “In the wake of yet another deadly bomb blast in Zamfara, to which the President has not said a single word; on the back of an unprecedented foreign military attack on Nigerian soil; right in the middle of all the uncertainty it has provoked; with a confused and scared nation waiting for the President to speak to us and assure us that all is well, the next thing we hear is that the President has gone on holiday. What a President!”
The Presidency had on Sunday evening announced President Tinubu’s departure for Europe, in continuation of his end-of-year break and ahead of his official trip to Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates.
