African Democratic Congress (ADC) chieftain Dino Melaye criticizes President Bola Tinubu over a three-week vacation in Europe, saying “old age can’t be treated” and can only be managed. Melaye argues that only Tinubu would leave the country for such an extended period, and he frames the remarks as a response to Tinubu’s travel and time away from Nigeria.
Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, says the president departs Abuja for London as the first stop of his annual leave and is expected to return ahead of the January 2027 election campaign. The vacation is also linked to ongoing political debate, with critics questioning Tinubu’s absence during a tense period. Supporters counter that the trip is part of the president’s entitled annual leave. The remarks also come amid renewed attention to allegations about Tinubu’s age, including claims by ADC’s Atiku Abubakar that he is 90 years old, which he says he will support in court.
