The Presidency has explained that President Bola Tinubu embarked on a three-week vacation in Europe to rest and “refuel” after several months of intensive engagement with affairs of state.

The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Public Communications, Sunday Dare, disclosed this while speaking with journalists on Sunday.

According to Dare, the President had spent the past six to seven months dealing with major national issues, including important decisions relating to security, the economy and other areas of governance.

“The President has had several months—six, seven months—of being engaged with state matters. We’ve seen monumental changes, monumental decisions taken with our security, with our economy and so many other things as pertains to the running of the affairs of this country,” he said.

The presidential aide also noted that the campaign season for the 2027 elections had begun and would involve several months of intense political activities, although government activities would continue.

“And at this point, the campaign season has just started. We have four, five months of serious campaigning. Of course, governance will still continue,” Dare said.

He explained that the vacation was necessary to allow the President to rest and prepare for the demanding months ahead.

Dare added that Tinubu would remain engaged with government affairs while away from the country.
