By KEMI KASUMU

The spokesman to former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, Mr. Paul Ibe, has challenged the Presidency to explain to Nigerians the duration of President Bola Tinubu’s visit to France.

He spoke after an analyst was reported by The DEFENDER to have told President Tinubu to take his government away from being shrouded in ambiguity to earn public trust and confidence of Nigerians.

Ibe also charged the Presidency to explain to Nigerians the nature of Tinubu’s engagement in France.

A statement by Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale had informed that the President will be departing Abuja, the nation’s capital for France.

Posting on X, Ibe wrote: “Could you kindly elucidate the duration of President Bola Tinubu’s visit to France, or is this engagement open-ended?

“Furthermore, might you provide insight into the nature of the “brief work” being undertaken in France, or is this matter held in secrecy?

“Given that the President of Nigeria serves as a public steward funded by the nation’s resources, it is of paramount importance that Nigerians are kept apprised of his travel plans, objectives, and schedules.

“I trust that, having learned from the Yar’Adua experience, we are committed to upholding a higher standard of transparency.”
