The presidency disclosed that the three-week working leave embarked upon by President Bola Tinubu has been extended by one week. Presidential spokesperson Bayo Onanuga said in a statement that the president would return to Nigeria at the weekend following the extension of his working vacation by a few days. Tinubu departed Nigeria on August 30 for London to begin the working vacation, and after spending a week in London moved to Paris, where he met with French President Emmanuel Macron and businessman Mr Vincent Bollore. The presidency said Tinubu has breached no law and described former Vice President Atiku Abubakar's insinuation as baseless and irresponsible, adding that the president will continue to ask Vice President Kashim Shettima and Secretary to the Government of the Federation George Akume to represent him at functions.
