Former lawmaker, Daniel Bwala, says President Bola Tinubu can govern the country from anywhere in the world.
Bwala said this is the case whether the Vice President, Kashim Shettima, is also in Nigeria or not.
OsunDailyNG reports that the visit by Shettima to the United States of America, for the US-Africa Business Summit, has created leadership vacuum at the nation’s seat of power as Tinubu is yet to arrive Nigeria, six days after attending the Special World Economic Forum WEF meeting
Bwala’s statement is coming shortly after former Vice President Atiku Abubakar described as unusual the absence of Tinubu and Shettima from the country at the same time.
Atiku said it was worrisome especially now that the nation is faced with daunting challenges.
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate in a post on his X handle claimed one might be right to assume that the country is on autopilot.
However, Bwala disagreed with Atiku, saying that Aso Vila is not a block industry, while Tinubu is not a bricklayer.
He said: “The President @officialABAT is in charge of the country and can govern from anywhere in the world whether the Vice President is also in Nigeria or not. Aso Vila is not a block industry and the President is not a bricklayer. Read Section 5 of the Constitution.”
