The spokesperson for the African Democratic Congress, Bolaji Abdullahi, has criticised President Bola Tinubu’s decision to travel to Europe amid rising security concerns in the country, describing the move as insensitive and alarming. Abdullahi expressed the position in a statement titled ‘PBAT’s lack of care scary’, and posted on his official X account on Sunday. According to him, Nigerians were still waiting for reassurance from the President when news of his travel broke. PUNCH Online reports that Tinubu departed Lagos for Europe on Sunday, as part of his end-of-year break, ahead of his official visit to Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Onanuga noted that the weeklong event would bring together leaders from government, business and civil society to advance global conversations on sustainable development.
