Daniel Bwala, a former spokesperson for the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) during the 2023 general election, Atiku Abubakar, has said that President Tinubu can govern Nigeria from anywhere in the world.

He said in a post on his official X page that it is constitutional for the president of the country to govern it even when he’s not in the country.

He said: “The president @officialABAT is in charge of the country and can govern from anywhere in the world whether the vice president is also in Nigeria or not. Aso Villa is not a block industry and the president is not a bricklayer. Read Section 5 of the constitution.”

Bwala said this in response to Atiku’s claims that the president and vice president shouldn’t be out of the country at the same time.
