Sowore claims Tinubu ‘receiving treatment’ in France, not on vacation…skipping UN over fear of US arrest

There is something inherently wrong with Nigeria. To think that the Tinubu @officialABAT mummified showcasing and stunts in Paris just went like that, coupled with his inability to go to the UN General Assembly which I heard is because of his mortal fear that the US govt could order his arrest for his past drug-dealing case, is just surprising.

Every sycophant is playing along, and society has acquiesced completely.

Tinubu is not on vacation; he is receiving treatment in France, and they will package him to return as though nothing happened. We have seen this script before with Yar’Adua and Buhari: secrecy, deception, carefully managed appearances and a country expected to look away.

Nigeria must be liberty only from these machinations but the mentality that sustains it. #RevolutionNow

Human rights activist and African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has alleged that President Bola Tinubu is receiving medical treatment in France rather than being on vacation, Sahara Reporters reported. Sowore made the claim on X on Sunday, reacting to Tinubu’s absence from the 81st United Nations General Assembly.

The Presidency has described the trip as a three-week annual leave and working vacation. It announced Sunday that Vice President Kashim Shettima would represent Tinubu and lead Nigeria’s delegation in New York.

Sowore also alleged that Tinubu fears arrest by the United States. SaharaReporters said the Presidency had not responded to his claims.
