He revealed that the President ” left Paris for London at the weekend and has maintained constant communication with key government officials, overseeing critical national matters, including directives to security chiefs to address emerging threats in some parts of the country.”
Onanuga however, added that ” his return to Abuja and the resumption of duties at Aso Villa will follow the conclusion of the Easter holiday”
Recall that the President who departed Abuja on the 2nd of April to France was expected to stay away for two weeks, according to Onanuga
Some members of the opposition have however, expressed displeasure over the President’s continued absence, especially in the wake of the several killings perpetrated by terrorists in North East and North Central parts of Nigeria, responsible for the death of over 100 persons in the past two weeks.
But Onanuga , in the statement on Thursday, said the ” President’s commitment to his duties remains unwavering, and his administration continues to function effectively under his leadership.”
