ADC chieftain Dino Melaye is questioning why President Tinubu and Vice President Shettima are both out of Nigeria at the same time.
The former Kogi West senator posted on his offical handle asking who is currently running the country.
Tinubu is on a three-week vacation as part of his annual leave.
He started in London, then went to Paris.
Shettima left for the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Sunday.
Melaye said the president and vice president are out of the country and power hasn't been transmitted to anyone else.
"Who is in charge of Nigeria right now? Tinubu travels out of Nigeria every month.
Power has never been transmitted once," he said.
PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT ARE OUT OF THE COUNTRY, POWER IS NOT TRANSMITTED. WHO IS IN CHARGE OF NIGERIA AS WE SPEAK? TINUBU TRAVEL OUT OF NIGERIA EVERY MONTH, NEVER FOR ONCE HAS POWER BEEN TRANSMITTED. THIS ASSOCIATION OF PROGRESSIVE CORRUPTION. (APC) NA WA. SDM pic.twitter.com/6W935eKURh
