Recall the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, had earlier on Wednesday, announced that Tinubu will depart Abuja for the United Kingdom to begin a two-week vacation, part of his yearly leave.
Naija News reports that he stated that Tinubu will use the two weeks as a working vacation and a retreat to reflect on his administration’s economic reforms.
According to Onanuga, the President will return to the country after the leave expires.
Meanwhile, the Senator representing Borno South, Mohammed Ali Ndume, has urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to temporarily hire the services of military contractors to wipe out Boko Haram terrorists in Borno State.
Naija News reports that Ndume’s comment comes after Boko Haram terrorists launched a fresh attack in Ngoshe, Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno, where they slaughtered six farmers and abducted five others, including women.
In a statement on Wednesday, Ndume, who hailed the gallant performance of the military and Civilian JTF, said they are ill-equipped to carry out the task of eliminating the remaining insurgents operating within the northern region.
The lawmaker noted that the hired military contractors can also eliminate bandits in the North West.
