VP departs Nigeria for Senegal hours after President Tinubu jetted out to France

Nigeria's Vice President, Kashim Shettima has departed Abuja, Nigeria for Dakar, Senegal, to represent President Bola Tinubu at the country’s 65th Independence Day Anniversary celebrations.

Mr Stanley Nkwocha, media aide to the Vice President, made this known in a statement on Thursday in Abuja.

Senegal celebrates its Independence Day on April 4 annually, commemorating its freedom from French colonial rule in 1960.

The day is marked by national pride, with ceremonies, parades, and cultural events.

This year’s celebrations will be held at the Place de la Nation in Dakar, with President Bassirou Faye hosting Vice-President Shettima and other distinguished guests from across Africa and beyond.

Nkwocha explained that Shettima’s attendance at the event was in honour of an invitation extended to President Tinubu by Senegalese President Faye, based on the mutual relationship between both countries.

He added that the Vice President is expected to return to Nigeria on Friday after the one-day event.

This is coming barely 24 hours after President Tinubu departed Nigeria on a working visit to France.
