The presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general election, Peter Obi has said he was dismayed over President Bola Tinubu’s absence from Nigeria in the face of the economic and other challenges facing the nation.
Two weeks after President Tinubu’s departure from the country, Obi in a statement on Friday, wondered why the president is not back.
“The President had told us he would only be gone for 14 days. The 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”, he said.
