Senate President Godswill Akpabio has declared that there is no vacancy in the Presidency, insisting that President Bola Tinubu remains in charge of Nigeria despite his absence from the country.

Akpabio said this on Tuesday in Akwa Ibom State while dismissing concerns over Tinubu’s continued stay in Europe and the simultaneous absence of the President and Vice President Kashim Shettima from Nigeria.

The Senate President also rejected suggestions that he was acting President, saying Tinubu remained in power and continued to run the affairs of the country from abroad.

Akpabio said those raising concerns about a possible leadership vacuum were merely speculating, stressing that he was the appropriate authority to speak for the National Assembly on the issue.
