President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s recent trip to France for the Paris summit on a new global financial pact has attracted criticism, especially after several high-profile Nigerian officials, including Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State and Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, were seen accompanying him.

Legit.ng reported that Tinubu left Abuja on Tuesday, June 20, joined by members of the presidential policy advisory council and senior government officials.
