Former Anambra State governor and ex-presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi has taken a swipe at President Bola Tinubu over his fresh planned 12-day trip to Japan and Brazil.

Obi in a statement on Thursday August 13th, 2025 via his X handle (formerly Twitter) said:

“What our nation needs now is the security of lives and property, economic stability, and ensuring that our people have food on their tables.”

“Nigerians know our huge problems cannot be solved overnight, but they want to see 100% effort and tireless commitment.”

“President Tinubu must know that he’s not a tourist, but the Chief Executive of a troubled nation and should adopt strict work and travel schedules that reflect the urgency of the country’s crises.”
