The unusual absence of Nigeria’s President-elect, Bola Tinubu, has sparked reactions from many Nigerians. They are concerned about his whereabouts.
As at the time of filing this report, the hashtag ‘WhereIsTinubu?’ topped the trends chart of microblogging platform, Twitter.
#WhereisTinubu has garnered over 14,000 tweets.
71st Birthday
The case of Tinubu’s absence also happened before the 2023 election.
However, what is more suspicious to Nigerians is that Tinubu failed to mark his 71st birthday on March 29, which he usually celebrates with a lecture series known as Bola Tinubu Colloquium.
The former Lagos State governor’s whereabouts and health condition have continued to generate concern among Nigerians.
Tinubu On Vacation
Before now, Tinubu’s media team said he Tinubu travelled overseas for vacation and subsequently Lesser Hajj in Saudia Arabia.
Since then, no one has heard from the president-elect, except for a release he published on Twitter on his birthday.
Reacting to the continuous absence of the president-elect, some Nigerian expressed their displeasure on Twitter.
Every year for the last 13 years, Bola Tinubu has loudly marked his birthday with the Bola Tinubu Colloquium. Now, after being declared President-elect by INEC, he suddenly cancels the 14th colloquium and disappears from public view during Ramadan? Where is Tinubu?#TableShaker

Tinubu is officially a President-elect by INEC's declaration. He can't hide anymore. On his birthday nobody saw him. He hasn't appeared publicly in weeks. Old videos were circulated to fool the public. He is not breaking Ramadan fast with Nigerians. Where is Tinubu?#TableShaker
