Former Anambra State Governor and Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, has questioned the whereabouts of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu amid the deepening economic hardship and insecurity in Nigeria. He recently had his say via a press statement posted on his verified X account, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, his concern is driven by the scale of challenges confronting the nation and the perceived absence of direct presidential engagement at a critical time.

He concluded by demanding accountability from the country’s president during a national emergency.

His words, “As we approach the end of this year, Nigeria will be home to approximately 140 million people living in extreme poverty — the highest number in the world.

In the midst of this chaos, where has our President been?

Reports indicate he opted for a holiday in Europe while the nation was plunged into a New Year marked by hunger, anxiety, and uncertainty.

Instead of directly addressing the nation, Nigerians learned about these critical events from foreign media, American officials, and the vague communications from the Presidency’s aides. This is not governance; it’s neglect.

When leadership withdraws, unity falters, and the fabric of our society unravels.

In a time of crisis, the absence of leadership is not just troubling; it is perilous. silence in the face of crisis is the loudest form of failure.”

WOW.
