Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The African Democratic Congress, ADC, on Sunday challenged President Bola Tinubu to explain to Nigerians his whereabouts after the BRICS summit in Brazil.<\/p>\n

On June 28, 2025, Tinubu departed Nigeria on a two-nation visit to St. Lucia and Brazil.<\/p>\n

From St. Lucia, Tinubu reportedly headed for the 17th BRICS summit in Rio de Janiero in Brazil.<\/p>\n

A statement by the Nigerian Presidency said the BRICS summit in Brazil held between July 6 and 7th.<\/p>\n

After the summit ended, Tinubu\u2019s whereabouts was unknown until the early hours of Sunday when he returned to Nigeria.<\/p>\n

The Presidency failed to issue any explanation to Nigerians on Tinubu whereabouts for five days.<\/p>\n

Reacting to the development on Sunday, ADC, in a statement by its spokesman, Bolaji Abdullahi, challenged Tinubu to tell Nigerians where he was during the five days period.<\/p>\n

Abdullahi said the ADC is extending a \u201cweary welcome\u201d to Tinubu for finally returning to the country five days after the end of the 2025 BRICS Summit which was held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.<\/p>\n

The statement said, \u201cSince the summit ended on Monday, July 7th, all the other world leaders who were in attendance returned home, briefed their citizens, and got back to work. But our President?<\/p>\n

\u201cHe only reappeared in Abuja in the early hours of Sunday, July 13\u2014without a word, without a briefing, or any explanation as to why his return to the country had been delayed.<\/p>\n

\u201cA whole five days is significant in the life of a country, especially a country like ours battling with several existential challenges of insecurity and a tottering economy that has made life increasingly difficult for the majority of Nigerians.\u201d<\/p>\n

The party stressed that since Tinubu was not on holidays during his trip, he owes Nigerians a duty to explain his whereabouts for those days.<\/p>\n
