Imagine o

He is our minister for tourism...😀😀😀

Only? You failed to succeed in killing him, now go and force him out. Yeye Pple.

The need for better, stable & home leadership not by proxy anymore.

Nothing bad! He entitles to spend ½ of his regime abroad for the progress of the country

What do you expect from a fulani man who does not have an idea on how to promote sustainable development..

Does this not just sound absurb, how many times in half a year does Pres Trump leave his country

“The country he visited the most was the United Kingdom where he spent 217 days mostly on health grounds and meetings of Commonwealth Heads of State and Government”

Am sure this included the long time he was away for treatment which could have happened to anyone

If we talk now BashirAhmaad would remind us that there is plenty 🍚 at home and in Kano 🚶‍♀️

Globe trotting president

WTF, you tryna confuse us

Pray for this man

Because he went to play abroad. Useless n hopeless newspaper as if that’s their job, i just wonder the kind of useless people working at this mobilePunch

Irresponsible journalism. The man was sick and that is the investigative journalism you could do? Ara yin o ya at all

PDP poisoned him, he survived and sent them to unite with the devil. He will survive this media gang up and the bad and corrupt ones would be sent out of business.

He still did better than 16yrs of OBJ&JEG. YOU stay there counting the days and see how far you can afford to feed your family while loofing about on tweeter spewing your yesterday fake news.

It's INTEGRITY redefined, hahahah Rubbish

He has entered book of record, the most traveled president, and he take him 4 years to implement the new minimum wage

He didn’t the time doing good work..

You don't have work to do

Lol...dis man Na scam

This same sham of a 'Parosident' criticized the previous administrations on this same issue especially Olusegun Obasanjo on being the 'Minister of Tourism'; today he's caught in the same web, ain't karma a bitch Lmao

Dear punch, Please we are waiting for finance details of all the money spent during the holidays of the president including hospital bills. Nigeria cannot keep on borrowing while our president keep on spending , Paying for his private parties.

This is the way MBuhari is managing Nigeria. His actions are so inept that he’s bereft of ideas on how to secure lives let alone economy.

And so what? Bloody religious & ethnic bigots...

Is it only me that doesn't even remember we have a president ... I bet if you asked me a question like who is the president of Nigeria Me : Game Of throne

Around the world in 80 days. Lmao.

Lmao. Our president in absentia. When falz sang it i thought baba was exaggerating

God is not like men. 'I will have mercy on who I will have mercy and compassion on who I will have'.

So Baba has been absent from work 1 year 39 days forming remote duties eh? Issssokay 🙄.... noted!

Long live PMB. Sickness is not Death!.He survive all by his Grace and this Grace will sustain him IJMN

The Wandering Cattle Rearer.

Ajala the traveller

Our foreign president

Pathetic

President

After Buhari, Please bring Babangida and rig him in.

Falz was wrong 😂

AriyoAristotle So no other news to report abi?

He is lobbying investors to come and risk there lives?

Only in Nigeria do citizens blame their President for falling sick, blame him for not dieing and still blame him for seeking proper medical care abroad when he did not inherit a working health care system. I repeat only in Nigeria.

How many days did he left without a proper handover?

And the constitutional provisions for a Vice/ Acting President didn’t cover for the period?

Gullible Nigerians. You all voted for what you deserve. Let Buhari relocate to Sweden for all I care. Nothing will happen.

😂😂

He did that because he was sick and still unhealthy and still not fit to rule us vanguardngrnews OfficialAPCNg

Is he trying to get citizenship of another country😙😄🤦🤦

Keep crying.....

President Buhari of London.

So....how does this constitute a news headline? How lazy you guys in the print media are.

dadiyata Including his long stay in London.

fkeyamo BashirAhmaad toluogunlesi Mr. Integrity..... Slayer of defenceless Nigerians.... Mr. Foreign President

dadiyata Even four years is not sufficient for a responsible government to fixed the Nigeria problem.

dadiyata Record breaking. He deserves a medal of honour for 'Ajalaism'

Touring president with no result. Enjoy your fruitless regime.

fkeyamo SAN. Can you validate this headline or is it conjured by 'Anti-Buhari elements'? Since you are the authority on headlines

Our next president for 2023

Baba ajala travel,sai baba

Oga is looking for Azra..... Nigeria na Badland

LAGOS bridge under threat...

I'm certain our problems are internal

Sad!

Wait until his brainless supporters give you the silly excuses for all his traveling and cluelessness about the rot in the country. They will soon leave the message and start attacking the messengers mobilepunch for their honest journalism.

And so! Buhari till 2023! You can relocate to Congo if you can't bear it.

And yet no new foreign investors.

4 years tenure, 3 years holiday. No be me talk am oooh MoralInstruction

So what ?

I wish he spent more

He can rule from anywhere. Hehehehehehe.

MBuhari is not from Sudan then. It is up to legislators to make newaws to determine how long one should be absent in the presidency for health treatment that will apply to all elected candidates

oluwaloninyo Four year tenure, tiri year holidaynobemetalkamo

Falz already stated this!

We will tell him the next time he visits Nigeria

President of Foreign Affairs

Mr Ajala....haahaahahahaaha

Buhari....

More to come!

He was given the title... Ojemba Enwe Ilo, I of Nigeria... He deserved it.

Is he our foreign affairs minister?

Nonsense article

They'll soon attack punch headquarters and close it down

Not really interested in his days off the country.

chaplinez70 Cameroonians be looking at this post & thinking Nigerians have it so sweet!

Na useless president na. Nothing him sabi. Running abi shying away from his responsibilities!

Lol jubril

Keep counting.

Of course,he was sick.....

Currently the problem of this country is the president MBuhari 🤔😌🤔

The Traveling President

Yeah fighting corruption from abroad

Who are they really working for?

What’s wrong with punch news lately, they’ve been spreading anti Buhari sentiments since after the election.

The big question is Has it attracted foreign investors?

With due respect, GarShehu's response in this article was arrogant & lazy. This was a cover editorial. He missed the most credible chance to articulate Buhari's foreign diplomacy & it's very significant gains. On their part, Punch could've reached to Minister of Foreign Affairs

Playing?

Austynzogs Ajala President

Waste of resources

Then second tenure will be 2 and half year abroad

Whoade him spent much of those days? Isn't is the heartless, shameless, agents of retrogression & devil, and wicked politicians, businessmen and some ignorants Nigerians who wish him death bcos he is try 2 put things in order for all but which is blocking their evil perpetrations

What do you expect from our able tourism minister 😂

And so what?
