Amid Presidential Tribunal Sitting, Tinubu Jets Out Of Nigeria To Europe

Every a man with meticulous observation of the developments in the country vis-a-vis the ongoing presidential tribunal sitting in Abuja, the All Progressives Congress candidate and President-Elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has rather cared less about what might be the outcome of the present process.

Recall that it is barely two weeks that he returned to the country after he reportedly visited London, Saudi Arabia and Paris.

Again, President-elect, Bola Tinubu on Wednesday afternoon left Nigeria for Europe.

According to reports, the visit is part of his efforts to fine-tune the transition plans and programmes, and his policy options with some of his key aides.

By the statement from the Office of the President-elect signed by Tunde Rahman, the trip became necessary to allow Tinubu carry out some tasks without unnecessary pressure and distractions.

“He will use the opportunity of the trip to finetune the transition plans and programmes, and his policy options with some of his key aides without unnecessary pressures and distractions.

“During the visit, the President-elect will engage with investors and other key allies with the goal of marketing investment opportunities in the country and his administration’s readiness to enable a business-friendly climate through policies and regulations”, he stated.

The statement noted that already, meetings with multi-sectoral actors in Europe’s business community including manufacturing, agriculture, tech and energy have been lined up.

“Asíwájú Tinubu hopes to convince them of Nigeria’s readiness to do business under his leadership through mutually-beneficial partnerships premised on jobs creation and skills acquisition.

“Reviving the country’s economy forms a major plank of Tinubu’s Renewed Hope agenda and the meeting is part of his efforts to re-establish Nigeria’s importance in the global economic chain and create empowering opportunities for the country’s huge youth population.

“The President-elect has hitherto promised to hit the ground running and the visit is reflective of his commitment to the promise as he has already begun talks with global actors in the important areas of the economy and security.

“Before he left the country, Asíwájú Tinubu met with the House of Representatives candidates for Speaker and Deputy Speaker endorsed by his party, the All Progressives Congress, Hon. Tajudeen Abbas and Hon. Benjamin Kalu, who were presented to him by Joint Task Team of the House.

“He is scheduled to return shortly for preparations towards his official swearing in as the 16th President of the country on May 29, 2023”, Rahman added.

Meanwhile, on Monday, the governor of Plateau State who announced himself as the representative of Tinubu was ordered to stay away as his principal is never an organisational to be represented. They panel insisted on the presence of Tinubu in the court.

With the recent development, would it not be tantamount to utter disregard to the Judiciary if not a case of seeing them and the petitions as inconsequential to his ambition?
