JUST IN: You Are Not a Tourist – Peter Obi Slams Tinubu’s Planned Trip, Questions Unstated Return Date

Labour Party presidential candidate for the 2023 election, Peter Obi, criticized President Bola Tinubu's planned trip to Japan and Brazil, calling it insensitive given Nigeria's worsening security and economic crisis. Tinubu's itinerary, announced by spokesperson Bayo Onanuga, includes attending the Ninth Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD9) in Yokohama, Japan, and a visit to Brazil, with no stated return date.

Obi expressed concern over Tinubu leaving the country shortly after returning from Brazil, accusing the administration of indifference to the country's challenges. He suggested that Tinubu's prolonged foreign trip was unnecessary and urged him to focus on addressing urgent domestic issues instead of international engagements.

Obi emphasized the need for a disciplined travel plan that reflects the urgency of the country's situation, stating that the President should prioritize engaging with the Nigerian community over foreign trips.
