May 29 Inauguration: Tinubu’s whereabouts raise controversy

Ahead of the May 29 inauguration, questions on the whereabouts of the President-elect, Bola Tinubu have taken the centre stage.

It has become a norm in Nigeria for people of the upper echelon of government to keep their health status secret even when this becomes a major concern for the country.

The dark clouds over the exact nature of the illness being suffered by the leaders always led to rumours and speculations from concerned Nigerians and members of the opposition.

This will also leave their aides, their political parties and party chieftains with the gargantuan task of managing the huge public relations crisis that would greet their absence.

Nigeria has been in this situation, not once, but twice, or even thrice.
