Prolonged absence: Tinubu sued for refusing to hand over power - Daily Post Nigeria

The African Action Congress (AAC) has sued President Bola Tinubu before the Federal High Court in Abuja for refusing to transfer power to Vice-President Kashim Shettima since his departure to Europe on August 30, 2026. The lawsuit, filed on September 28, 2026, argues that Tinubu's prolonged absence without a formal declaration violates the Nigerian Constitution. The AAC also seeks an injunction to prevent future presidents from taking vacations without complying with constitutional requirements.
