The statement, signed by Tinubu’s spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, revealed that the President will use the visit to evaluate his administration’s mid-term performance and review key milestones achieved so far.

He added that Tinubu will also use the retreat to review the progress of ongoing reforms and engage in strategic planning ahead of his administration’s second anniversary.

“This period of reflection will inform plans to deepen ongoing reforms and accelerate national development priorities in the coming year.

“Recent economic strides reinforce the President’s commitment to these efforts, as evidenced by the Central Bank of Nigeria reporting a significant increase in net foreign exchange reserves to $23.11 billion—a testament to the administration’s fiscal reforms since 2023 when net reserves were $3.99 billion,” Onanuga said.

He added that while away, President Tinubu will remain fully engaged with his team and continue to oversee governance activities.

He will return to Nigeria in about a fortnight, according to the statement.

The swearing-in ceremony, which took place at the President’s office in Aso Rock, was attended by several key officials, including Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice Lateef Fagbemi, Principal Private Secretary to the President, Hakeem Muri-Okunola, and Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.

The ceremony occurred shortly before 3:00 pm today.

The appointment follows President Tinubu’s declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State on March 18. As part of the emergency measures, the President suspended Governor Siminalayi Fubara, his deputy, Ngozi Odu, and all elected members of the Rivers State House of Assembly for an initial six-month period.

In a national broadcast, President Tinubu cited prolonged political instability, constitutional breaches, and security threats in the state as reasons for the drastic action.

Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (Rtd.), who served as Chief of Naval Staff from 2015 to 2021 under former President Muhammadu Buhari, will now oversee the state’s affairs until normalcy is restored.

The President, in a bid to ensure an effective and consistent communication of government policies, decisions and engagements, noted that his administration would have three Special Advisers who will “collectively serve as spokespersons for the government.”

The press release issued by Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, states the restructuring of the media team as follows:

Mr. Sunday Dare – hitherto Special Adviser on Public Communication and National Orientation is now Special Adviser, Media and Public Communications.

Mr. Daniel Bwala – announced last week as Special Adviser, Media and Public Communication, is now special adviser Policy Communication.

“These appointments, along with the existing role of Special Adviser, Information and Strategy ,underscore that there is no single individual spokesperson for the Presidency.

“Instead, all the three Special Advisers will collectively serve as spokespersons for the government.

“This approach aims to ensure effective and consistent communication of government policies, decisions, and engagements.

Tinubu while attempting to climb the parade jeep shortly after he arrived at the venue of the 2024 Democracy Day, lost his footing momentarily and slipped.

The President regained his balance and continued with the proceedings.

The development has attracted several reactions from Nigerians. Some netizens mocked the President over the incident, and others downplayed it because the president went on with the ceremonial rounds.

Reacting to the incident via a post on his X handle, Onanuga stated that the President’s fall should not detract from the importance of the democracy day celebration.

The presidential aide asserted that the Nigerian leader was just human and anyone, including political leaders, could slip or fall.

Onanuga further cited examples of the current American President, Joe Biden, and his predecessor, Barack Obama, who slipped while in office despite his young age.

He wrote: “President Tinubu is not a Superman. He is human, like all of us. President Biden has had several slips in the last three years. Even the younger Barack Obama slipped while President. Political leaders are human. Slipping should not detract from the import of Democracy Day celebration.”
