President Bola Tinubu’s whereabouts after the BRICS summit is raising concerns across social media users.
On June 28, 2025, the Presidency announced that President Tinubu had commenced a two-nation visit to St. Lucia and Brazil.
Tinubu attended the 17th BRICS summit in Rio de Janiero in Brazil, according to a statement by the Presidency.
However, since the summit ended there has been no further mention of Tinubu’s itinerary from the presidency.
Raising questions, Paul Ibe, a media aide to ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar, said Nigerians are worried about the president’s whereabouts.
In a post on X, Ibe wondered if the aircraft carrying Tinubu is passing a zone where the time is still.
He wrote: “Many concerned Nigerians are asking where President Bola Tinubu is since the conclusion of the BRICS Summit in Rio de Janiero, Brazil.
“On Saturday, 28 June 2025, Tinubu commenced a two-nation visit to Saint Lucia and Brazil. The 17th BRICS Summit ended 3 days ago.
“There is no other engagement on his itinerary, according to the press statement preceding his trip, raising concerns about his whereabouts. However, mum is the word.
“Is it possible that the Nigerian President’s aircraft is passing through a zone where time is standing still?”
The post is generating reactions on X, with many suggesting that the President may have gone for medicals.
Justus Ibekwe wrote: “Where is Nigeria president, @officialABAT presently?”
Dickson Ihechukwu: “He is already in France for medical as usual.”
Mallow 24: “I just asked same question where is tinunbu?? Abi he dey hospital nii?”
However, just moments ago, President Tinubu’s media aide, Mr Bayo Onanuga said he would return to the country today.
He simply wrote on X: “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu returns to Abuja today after his two-nation visit to Saint Lucia and Brazil.” (National Post)
