Paul Ibe, a media aide to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has publicly expressed concern regarding the current whereabouts of President Bola Tinubu.
Ibe’s alarm comes days after the conclusion of the BRICS summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, which he stated was President Tinubu’s last known official engagement.
President Tinubu had reportedly embarked on a two-nation visit to St. Lucia and Brazil on June 28, 2025, culminating in his attendance at the 17th BRICS summit.

While the Presidency confirmed Tinubu’s participation in the summit in Rio, Ibe noted a distinct lack of communication regarding the President’s itinerary since the summit’s conclusion.
Taking to X, Ibe posed a rhetorical question, wondering if the aircraft conveying President Tinubu was traversing a time zone where “time is still,” highlighting the unusual silence from the Presidency on the matter.
He wrote: “Many concerned Nigerians are asking where President Bola Tinubu is since the conclusion of the BRICS Summit in Rio de Janiero, Brazil.
“On Saturday, 28 June 2025, Tinubu commenced a two-nation visit to Saint Lucia and Brazil. The 17th BRICS Summit ended 3 days ago.
“There is no other engagement on his itinerary, according to the press statement preceding his trip, raising concerns about his whereabouts. However, mum is the word.
“Is it possible that the Nigerian President’s aircraft is passing through a zone where time is standing still? @grok.”
