Alhaji Sule Lamido, the ex-Governor of Jigawa State, has openly criticized President Bola Tinubu for taking a two-week vacation in the United Kingdom.
Lamido questioned Tinubu’s lack of empathy for choosing to go on vacation while many Nigerians are facing economic hardships and security issues.
The President left Nigeria for the UK on Wednesday to begin his two-week vacation.
Disclosing this, Tinubu’s Special Advisor on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said the president’s trip was part of his annual leave.
“He will use the two weeks as a working vacation and a retreat to reflect on his administration’s economic reforms.
“He will return to the country after the leave expires,” the statement said.
Reacting, Lamido accused president Tinubu of deliberately inflicting hardship on Nigerians.
In a Facebook post entitled: “Deaf, Dumb, Confounded,” Lamido said: “Does President Tinubu have the human empathy, compassion, love, care, and concern to ponder and reflect on Nigerians’ dire situations while in the comfort of Europe?”
