Akpabio says Tinubu remains in charge despite concerns over absence

Senate President Godswill Akpabio has dismissed concerns about President Bola Tinubu’s absence, insisting that the presidency is not vacant, according to Punch Nigeria. Akpabio said Tinubu was still running Nigeria. His statement was presented as a response to questions or concerns about the President’s absence, although the supplied material does not explain when the absence occurred or what prompted the concerns.

The report also provides no details about Tinubu’s location, schedule or official activities during the period under discussion. It does not include a separate statement from the President or from his office. Akpabio’s position, as reported, is that Tinubu remains in control of the government and that there is no constitutional or administrative vacancy.

Beyond that assurance, the available material does not describe any formal transfer of powers or other government action related to the issue.
