The presidency has explained why Tinubu was absent from the inauguration of projects on Wednesday in Lagos despite being in the state.
Speaking during an interview on Channels Television, Sunday
Dare, special adviser to the president on media and public communication,
confirmed that Tinubu is currently in Lagos.
Dare said the president prioritises security matters over
attending the inauguration of projects.
He said Tinubu has been very busy receiving constant
security briefs from the intelligence community.
“President Tinubu is in Lagos. Beyond the pictures, the
president has been very busy with state matters,” Dare said.
“In the last 10 days, right from the developments in Jos,
the president has been busy taking constant briefs, and he has to prioritise
when it comes to state matters, especially security.
“He is in Lagos monitoring the development, working with the
intelligence community, and taking constant security briefs.”
On Tuesday, the Lagos government announced partial road
closures in parts of the state for the inauguration of infrastructure projects
by Tinubu.
The state government had said Tinubu would inaugurate the
Opebi-Mende link bridge on Wednesday between 9am and 1pm.
The president was expected to inaugurate the Tolu Schools
Complex located in the Ajegunle area of the state.
Tinubu had arrived in Lagos on April 2 from Plateau state
after he visited the north-central over the killings in the Angwan Rukuba area
of Jos north LGA.
On April 4, Tinubu left Lagos for Ogun state to inaugurate
Gateway Cargo Airport and the Nigeria Customs Service hub.
The president then returned to Lagos on the same day.
