Obi Criticizes Tinubu for Spending Only 8 Days in Nigeria Amidst Rising Insecurity
Former Governor Obi has criticized Nigerian President Tinubu for spending only 8 days in Nigeria in 2026, highlighting the pressing domestic governance issues facing the country. Obi expressed concern over the worsening insecurity, food shortages, and ongoing worker strikes plaguing Nigeria.
He condemned the poor electricity supply and the impact of school closures and teacher strikes on children's education. Obi also questioned the necessity of Tinubu's frequent foreign trips, noting that the President spent 23 days abroad in January alone.
He accused the ruling party, APC, of focusing more on political activities and welcoming defectors than addressing the challenges faced by Nigerians. Obi painted a grim picture of a nation grappling with simultaneous insecurities, economic distress, failing infrastructure, and social upheaval while the political class prioritizes power struggles over finding solutions.
