Obi wondered why Tinubu is not back in the country despite the prevailing economic and other challenges facing the nation
By Kehinde Okeowo
The Labour Party (LP) 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi has questioned President Bola Tinubu’s whereabouts after his two weeks leave elapsed.
Tinubu departed Nigeria on October 2, for a working vacation in the United Kingdom, UK, as part of his annual leave.
He, thereafter, left UK for Paris in France where he was expected to attend an “important engagement”.
The president is, however, yet to return to the country despite the expiration of his two weeks leave.

Reacting to the development in a statement on Friday, Obi wondered why the president is not back in the country after his leave expired.
He went on to query why a commander in chief of a country will fail to return to his country despite the prevailing economic and other challenges facing the nation.
Obi said, “The President had told us he would only be gone for 14 days. The 14 days have passed now, and we are waiting to see him in the country.
“One would have expected him to return earlier than expected, considering the volume of work that needs to be done in a troubled nation like ours.
“The untold hardship that has been unleashed on our people as a result of some of his administration’s policies is unimaginable and we need his urgent attention to pilot the nation out of this present situation.”
