The Labour Party (LP) 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi has questioned President Bola Tinubu’s whereabouts after his two-week leave elapsed.
Tinubu left Nigeria on October 2 on a working vacation in the United Kingdom (UK), as part of his annual leave.
He, thereafter, left the 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-week 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 question the absence of the commander-in-chief from the country amid the prevailing economic and other challenges facing the nation and which require the president on the driver’s seat dictating actions.
“The President had told us he would only be gone for 14 days. 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,” Obi said.
