Tinubu: ‘Working Vacation Is Something Else’ – Shehu Sani Disagrees With Presidency

Shehu Sani, a former Kaduna Central senator, has faulted the Presidency’s description of President Bola Tinubu’s trip to Europe as a “working vacation”.

Reacting in a post on X, Sani wrote: “I understand the word ‘working’. I understand the word ‘vacation’. The sentence ‘working vacation’ is something else.”

I understand the word ‘working’.I understand the word ‘vacation’.The sentence ‘working vacation’ is something else.

Earlier, it had been reported that the Presidency announced that Tinubu had departed Abuja on Thursday, September 4, to begin his 2025 annual leave in Europe.

According to a statement by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, the vacation will last 10 working days.

The statement added that Tinubu will spend the period between France and the United Kingdom before returning to the Nigeria.
