Nigerians suffering at home, you’re relaxing in UK, Lamido blasts Tinubu
A former Governor of Jigawa State, Alhaji Sule Lamido, has criticised President Bola Tinubu following his two-week vacation in the United Kingdom (UK).
Lamido wondered if Tinubu has human empathy for opting to embark on a vacation when Nigerians wallow in economic hardship and insecurity.
Tinubu, On Wednesday, flew out to the UK to commence a two-week vacation.
Tinubu’s Special Advisor on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, had said the president’s trip is 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 at the expiration of his leave,” he said.
Reacting, Lamido accused Tinubu of deliberately inflicting hardship on Nigerians.
In a Facebook post titled: “Deaf, Dumb, Confounded,” Lamido asked: “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?”
