“Tinubu’s UK trip will enable him reflect on his policies. His return will bring relief” – Doyin Okupe says

The former aide to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan has said that President Bola Tinubu’s trip to the United Kingdom would give him the space and opportunity needed to reflect on the challenges faced by Nigerians at home.

Doyin Okupe said this trip would also enable the president to reflect on some of his policies and decide on how best to bring relief to Nigerians upon his return. Recall that the presidency had on October 2, announced President Tinubu would be embarking on a trip to the UK. According to a statement released by Bayo Onanuga, the president’s spokesperson, the trip to the UK is part of Tinubu’s annual leave and will last for two weeks.

While many Nigerians have raised concerns over the president’s plan to take a vacation at a time when the country was facing immense challenges, Okupe said these worries emanated from the lack of information.

‘’I have read many uninformed criticisms of the president’s holiday trip abroad. Personally, from my understanding of how presidents behave in periods of national crisis, I believe the president has willfully separated himself from officials, friends, and associates to reflect and review the last 17 months and chart a new way forward for his administration.

At the same time, it is to carefully avoid undue interference from political associates in his thought process to rejig his cabinet.

Staying anywhere in Nigeria definitely will not afford him such a peaceful and serene atmosphere to achieve his objective.”

The former presidential aide added that Tinubu’s return after “this retreat” will usher in a brighter future for Nigerians and bring relief and comfort to the masses.
