Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the newly elected president of Nigeria, is back.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for president of Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has returned home. 

After a four-week holiday in Europe and Saudi Arabia, he reportedly arrived back in the nation around 4.30 pm yesterday through the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja. On March 21, he left the country, and in accordance with his handlers, The president-elect required some time to recover, unwind, fine-tune, revitalize, and be ready for the May 29 inauguration of a new government. We were informed that he would be traveling to France, the UK, and Saudi Arabia, where he would be performing Umrah, the lesser hajj. His travel stoked rumors about his health, with many Nigerians saying that it was an attempt to conceal medical care that wasn't publicly acknowledged. Videos of his encounters in Guinea also surfaced, along with rumors regarding his nationality. 

But the Nigerians were not comforted. They desired to have the incoming president there. They claimed they were uncomfortable with the concept of a President-elect who would go missing in action or resemble an illegible, untraceable flying object traveling from France to the UK to Saudi Arabia and beyond. They questioned, "Where is he?" Even those who did not support him were included in that group. 

The basic assumption in this situation is that there cannot be two presidents operating concurrently. Therefore, Tinubu is essentially a president-in-waiting, and Nigerians who are worried about his whereabouts, health, or safety have every right to ask questions. National security issues are also involved. Weeks before his inauguration, the president-elect of the United States, the British, and the Chinese would not permit him to be traveling across the globe. Traditional communities keep these people in seclusion as they wait to take the throne so they can prepare for the monumental task at hand and their transfer from one plane of life to another.

It is worth noting that nobody would anticipate the President-elect doing any other trips abroad before his inauguration, which will take place in 35 days. His return is also fortunate in terms of timing. Whoever cites religion as a justification for traveling overseas is of course expected to return now that Ramadan has ended. The supplemental elections in 24 states of the Federation were held on April 15 while he was away. In a statement, the newly elected president praised the electoral process and urged all elected officials to cooperate with him. While he was overseas, there were also questions around his citizenship and whether or not he had lied on his Form EC9 when it was filed to INEC. Many people argue that the President-elect must address these issues.
