Lamido tackles Tinubu over UK vacation while Nigerians are in hardship

Former Jigawa State Governor, Alhaji Sule Lamido, has publicly criticized President Bola Tinubu following his two-week vacation in the United Kingdom.

Lamido expressed concern over the timing of the vacation, suggesting that it reflects a lack of commitment to addressing pressing issues facing the nation.

He emphasized the need for strong leadership and continuous engagement with the challenges that citizens are currently facing, particularly in light of the country’s economic and social difficulties.

Lamido wondered if Tinubu had human empathy for opting to embark on a vacation when Nigerians wallow in economic hardship and insecurity challenges.

GistReel reports that the president departed Nigeria to the UK to commence a 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?”
