JUST IN: Tinubu begins three-week leave, to embark on London trip today
President Bola Tinubu will commence his three-week leave today, Bayo Onanuga, presidential spokesperson, said on Sunday.
The president is expected to depart Abuja later in the day for Europe, where he will spend what has been described as a “working vacation”.
“His first stop will be London, United Kingdom,” the presidential spokesperson said.
“President Tinubu is expected to return home after the working vacation to join the hectic campaign for the January 2027 election.”
The president also had his 2025 annual vacation in September, taking 10 days off.
Equally described as a working vacation, Tinubu was in the United Kingdom and France for the duration.
The president’s 2026 leave comes in the wake of the conclusion of Vice-President Kashim Shettima’s two-week vacation.
Stanley Nkwocha, senior special assistant on media and communications (office of the vice-president), had described the leave as Shettima’s first since assuming office.
The vice-president returned from his leave two days ahead of schedule on August 1
