President Tinubu is hale and hearty
Nigeria’s President is hale and hearty. He has been on a working vacation, which he is perfectly entitled to. In this digital age, he does not need to be physically present in Abuja to do the work for which he was elected in 2023.

Two other important African leaders were not in New York for the UNGA: South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa and Egypt’s Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. Ramaphosa booked himself off public engagements.

The Nigerian President announced he was taking his annual vacation and delegated attendance to his able and dependable Vice President.
