President Bola Tinubu will today begin his three-week annual leave.
This was disclosed on Sunday by Bayo Onanuga, the presidential spokesperson.
According to Onanuga, the president is will depart Abuja later today for Europe, where he will spend what has been described as a “working vacation”.
Onanuga said, “His first stop will be London, United Kingdom.
“President Tinubu is expected to return home after the working vacation to join the hectic campaign for the January 2027 election.”
Recall that 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 18.
