Peter Obi To Tinubu: You are President of a troubled nation, not a tourist by fergie001(mod):
Again our President moves as the Nation bleeds

Amid the deplorable state of our nation in all ramifications, we have a virtually indifferent President who has continued to display insensitivity to our situation.

How can anyone explain that a President who came from Brazil recently and met with the President is returning to the same country, leaving the various degrees of challenges at home unresolved?

The latest itinerary of the President shows he will depart Abuja on Thursday, August 14, for a two-nation trip to Japan and Brazil.
 
The President will stop over in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, before proceeding to Japan. In Japan, President Tinubu will attend the Ninth Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD9) in the City of Yokohama from August 20 to 22. The itinerary is silent on the President's return date to his visibly troubled nation.

The situation we find ourselves in is deeply worrisome. Our President, who has not found it worthy to visit any of our troubled states, takes joy in travelling to foreign countries at the slightest invitation or excuse. Often departing several days even before the events he’s invited to.

In his last trip, for instance, he had a one-week State visit to St lucia before attending the BRICS Summit, where Nigeria was merely invited as an observer, though the role was dressed up as “partner” to the invitation, which was more significant. The leaders of actual member countries who attended only arrived a day or two at most for the event.

Nigeria’s insecurity situation, economic hardship, and human suffering have reached their peak. We are now counted among the most insecure nations, the most fragile economies, and the hungriest countries in the world. This dire reality demands the full attention of Mr. President, and his travels should be more within our troubled states and communities, spending time on the ground, and taking decisive action to alleviate the people’s suffering rather than these overseas conferences that contribute little or no tangible value to our nation's woes. And where the trip is necessary at all, it could be attended in just a few days rather than indulging in prolonged, unnecessary absences from a country that requires 24/7 attention.

What our nation needs now is security of lives and properties, economic stability and ensuring that our people have food on their table.

Our President's planned trip of 12 days departing today, if necessary, should have been at most a 5-day trip as the event he was invited to in Japan commences on the 20th.

Nigeria today demands competent leadership with capacity and compassion to start dealing with the problems besetting it with the presence and sacrifice required.


Mr. President must, as a matter of urgency, commence tours of our states with the same enthusiasm he shows for jetting out of the country every month. These visits will enable him to see, listen and learn more about what Nigerians are going through.

Though Nigerians know that our huge problems cannot be solved overnight, they want to see 100% effort and tireless commitment to solving them.

Most importantly, our President must know that he's not a tourist, but the Chief Executive of a troubled nation, so he must have consciousness, strict work schedules and a strict travelling schedule to show that he has a troubled country to quickly return to.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Tinubu is always traveling to other countries fir medical. No head of government worldwide has ever set foot into Nigeria for medical. Shame on Tinubu and his followers
Re: Peter Obi To Tinubu: You are President of a troubled nation, not a tourist by AustineE1:
This act of unnecessary travels is becoming a national embarrassment,how many times has presidents from these nations he travels to,visits Nigeria...how can a man whose house is on fire,keep chasing rats!
This is what you get when you have leaders that prefers being politically correct than having passion to better they wellbeing of its citizenry.

What is he saying? Talk like a man and stop sounding like a woman. Can someone give us a comprehensive list of Presidents around the world that have visited Nigeria since Tinubu became President?!

Now let me tell you all. There is a wonderful development in our ministry of livestock headed by Attahiru Jega in which the government of Brazil has been positively impacting that ministry. You will be a proud Nigerian when it starts bearing fruit. It's one of the achievements by Mr Presidents travels to Brazil among many others.

Give him 10yrs to rule , he will still fail.

Nigeria's next president must be tech savvy.
We can afford to be wasting the nation's money on trips just to "discuss".
Some discussions can be held virtually.
Nigerians must wake up and decide their fate!!

Why don't you ask yourself how the Yorubas who held people like Obafemi Awolowo, Bola Ige, Lateef Jakande, Abraham Adesanya... such intellectual minds to high esteem to now look up to people like Tinubu, MC Oluomo and his ilks? Can't you see how bad the leadership of the Yorubas have been degraded from intellectual leadership to that of illiteracy and thuggeryhuh? Can't you seehuh?

with the highlighted, you have even shot yourself in the foot.

why is that all these your fruits are always futuristic and none of them are ever in the present?

reports say that this is tinubus 3rd visit to Brazil in 9months.

are you saying that tinubu is travellling to brazil for the 3rd time in 9 months because of livestock?

International relations in the mud.

Simple question... If the president isn't meant to go on trips, what then is the use of the vice president.

How does the president traveling change anything happening back home? He has been around all these while, what changed?

Like I always say, we are not ready. When we are, we'll start focusing on discussions that really matter and not just chasing shadows.

So the President has to personally visit Brazil before they would come and invest in our livestock?

Of all things, it's livestock ooo. We are talking about goats, cows, chicken etc.

In your attempt to justify these trips, you just belittled Tinubu. Your Laptop Crew supervisor would not be happy with this your post.
