It would be recalled that President Tinubu had on 2 April travelled to Paris, France, on a “short working visit.”  Onanuga had said Tinubu would use the period of his stay in Paris to assess his administration’s midterm performance and key milestones.

Following criticisms of Tinubu’s absence from the country, especially as crisis deepened in some parts of the country, leading to the killing of over 100 people in Benue and Plateau, Onanuga issued a statement on Thursday, indicating that the president would return after the Easter Holiday to resume duties.

In the statement, Onanuga said the President had left Paris for London, insisting that his absence was temporary and did not exceed the two-week timeframe communicated earlier.
