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.”
