This will be Tinubu’s first official trip abroad as Nigeria’s president after his May 29 inauguration.

According to SaharaReporters, sources in the presidency indicated that Tinubu’s visit was also a “strategy” to see his team of medical professionals.

“BAT will attend the Global Financing Pact Summit next week in Paris, France.” This will be his first official trip outside Nigeria since his assumption of duty as President,” one of the top sources disclosed on Saturday.

“The trip is to check his health too. It is a strategy to go to hospital,” another source noted.

Meanwhile, the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN) has condemned former Niger Delta militant leader Asari Dokubo for asking President Bola Ahmed Tinubu not to release IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu.

Recall that Dokubo said to State House correspondents on Friday that releasing Nnamdi Kanu would be equal to encouraging criminal behavior.

He argued that Kanu should be held accountable under the law.

Dokubo state, “His release would fuel impunity; during EndSars, Nnamdi Kanu was walking free. What did he do? He poured petrol on the flames of EndSars. Now, he has been caught. What of the people who have died? This is a criminal. He should face the law.”

In a statement issued on Saturday, NYCN Vice President (South-East), Smart Uwakwe, urged Tinubu to ignore the former militant and release Nnamdi Kanu to Ohaneze Ndigbo President General, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, on terms and conditions for the nation’s security, peace, unity, and growth.

He described Dokubo as a militant who had killed, harmed, and destroyed government facilities, as well as the nation’s economy, emphasizing that he should be the one imprisoned.
