STOP OVERSEAS TOURS, VISIT STATES AND SEE WHAT NIGERIANS ARE GOING THROUGH — PETER OBI TELLS TINUBU

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Mr. Peter Obi, has charged Tinubu to suspend his numerous tours abroad and visit Nigerian states to see what Nigerians are going through.

Obi made this statement while addressing the press in commemoration of June 12 Democracy Day on Thursday.

He charged Mr Tinubu to discontinue foreign trips, urging him to visit all states of the federation to feel the pains of ordinary Nigerians.

He further slammed Tinubu’s administration for its massive borrowing and the lack of development in the country despite the government’s inordinate borrowing.

His words,”The president should stop touring outside Nigeria and use the remaining two years to tour the Nigerian states.

“Mr President, you have already spent 150 days on foreign trips; if you tour Nigerian states for an average of 2 days each, it would only be about 72 days, which is half of the time you spent outside on foreign trips.

“You must now go around Nigeria to see for the first time what your citizens are going through. It is time to stop governance by remote control,” Obi said.
