‘2027 not for president who needs regular treatment’ – Sam Amadi on Tinubu’s three-week vacation

The Director of the Abuja School of Social and Political Thoughts, Sam Amadi, has expressed hope that Nigeria would have a president who does not need regular treatment and extensive rest in 2027.

Amadi made the remark while describing President Bola Tinubu as a resting president.

Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, had disclosed that the President departed Abuja for Europe to begin his three-week vacation as part of his annual leave.

Onanuga said the Nigerian President would make his first stop in London, United Kingdom.

According to him, Tinubu is expected to return to Nigeria to join the hectic campaign for the January 2027 election.

Reacting, Amadi posted on X: “The president leaves town to rest for three weeks in the midst of all these problems. Tinubu surely knows how to rest.

“For eight years, we have had resting presidents. In 2027, we should have a president who does not need regular treatment and extensive rest.

“It is not Tinubu’s fault. Anyone can be sick and old. But then, you stay back and rest well without endangering the common good. That is where it is his fault.”
