A former Presidential spokesperson, Doyin Okupe, has claimed that President Bola Tinubu travelled to the UK, so he could have time to himself for a review of his administration so far.
Okupe hit out at Nigerians criticising Tinubu’s trip to the United Kingdom for a two-week holiday, NAN reported.
According to him, the president wants to avoid “undue interference from political associates”, as he seeks to rejig his cabinet.
Okupe said: “I have read many uninformed criticisms of the President’s holiday trip abroad.
“Personally, from my understanding of how Presidents behave in periods of national crisis, I believe the President has willfully separated himself from officials, friends and associates to reflect and review the last 17 months and chart a new way forward for his administration.
“At the same time, it is to carefully avoid undue interference from political associates, in his thought process to rejig his cabinet.”
