Tinubu To Depart For Japan, Brazil Trip Today
President Buhari is set to depart for Japan and Brazil, with a stopover in Dubai, UAE, on Thursday. He will attend the Ninth Tokyo International Conference on African Development in Yokohama from August 20-22.
Meanwhile, Labour Party's 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, criticized Bola Ahmed Tinubu for treating Nigeria like a stopover lounge while the country faces challenges. Obi questioned the necessity of Tinubu's foreign trips and urged him to focus on addressing Nigeria's issues directly.
He highlighted Tinubu's prolonged absences and lack of direct engagement with communities in distress. Obi's remarks come amidst concerns over insecurity, hunger, and economic hardship in the country.
President Buhari's trip and Tinubu's leadership style have sparked debates about priorities and responsibilities in Nigeria.
