Nigeria on Autopilot, INEC’s ‘Technical Glitches’ Has Given Nigeria a ‘Vacation’ President – Dalung Laments

Posted by Thandiubani on Fri 05th Sep, 2025 - tori.ng

Dalung said the outcome of the 2023 elections had left the country with a leader who prioritises leisure while Nigerians face worsening insecurity.

Former Minister of Sports, Solomon Dalung, has lashed out at President Bola Ahmed Tinubu following his recent vacation to Europe.

Dalung lamented that technical glitches by the Independent National Electoral Commission’s, INEC has left us with a 'vacation' president.

Recall that the Presidency had announced that Tinubu departed Abuja on September 4 to begin a 10-day working vacation in Europe as part of his 2025 annual leave.

According to a statement signed by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Tinubu will spend the period between France and the United Kingdom before returning to Nigeria.

In a post on X on Thursday, Dalung said the outcome of the 2023 elections had left the country with a leader who prioritises leisure while Nigerians face worsening insecurity.

“This is the tragic outcome of INEC’s so-called technical glitches — a conspiracy that has produced a vacation president whose idea of a social contract with Nigerians is sheer entitlement.

“At a time of escalating insecurity, Tinubu chooses leisure in Europe while the nation drifts. Nigeria is on autopilot, navigating turbulence with clueless, sleeping pilots. Lord, have mercy on this country,” he wrote.
