President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's extended vacation abroad has raised questions about the constitutional requirement for transmitting power to the Vice President. Tinubu left Nigeria on August 30 and was expected to return last weekend, but the Presidency announced an extension of his vacation in Europe by one week. Section 145(1) of the Constitution mandates the President to formally notify the Senate President and House Speaker if unable to discharge his functions. The development has sparked debate over the application of this provision.
