The All Progressives Congress (APC) announced on Thursday that Nigeria’s President-elect, Bola Tinubu, is currently taking a rest in Europe ahead of his inauguration on May 29. Felix Morka, the APC National Publicity Secretary, confirmed this during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme.
According to Morka, Tinubu is doing well and will swing into action immediately after his return from Europe.
Morka stated, “He [Tinubu] is probably in Europe. He’s fine. After the elections and all of the energy expended, he just decided to take a moment of rest.
Once he returns and is inaugurated on May 29, there will be no dulling. He’ll be saddled with the responsibility of running a country as massive and complex as Nigeria. I know he’ll be back in the country very shortly.”
Morka also revealed that Tinubu’s rest is a working rest as he is using this opportunity to reach out to heads of government and other levels of leadership of other countries that are vital to the agenda he’s bringing in his new government.
Morka added, “So, he’s not sleeping in his bed; he’s also in meetings regularly with all kinds of people who are travelling from other countries to see him preparatory to his inauguration. So, it’s a working visit.”
