Former aide to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan, Doyin Okupe, has stated that Bola Tinubu’s trip to the United Kingdom will give him the time and opportunity to reflect on the challenges Nigerians are facing at home.
Okupe mentioned that the trip would also allow the president to reassess some of his policies and find ways to bring relief to the Nigerian people upon his return.
It should be noted that on October 2, the presidency announced that Tinubu would be traveling to the UK as part of his annual leave, which is expected to last two weeks.

Despite concerns from many Nigerians about the president taking a vacation during a time of significant challenges in the country, Okupe explained that these concerns are largely due to a lack of proper information.
He said, “I have read many uninformed criticisms of the president’s holiday trip abroad.”
He also assured Nigerians that the president’s vacation would help him stay away from possible interference from political associates in the process of rejigging his cabinet as expected.
“Staying anywhere in Nigeria definitely will not afford him such a peaceful and serene atmosphere to achieve his objective,” Okupe added.
