Nigeria Democratic Congress presidential candidate Peter Obi has questioned President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s absence from the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), asking why Nigeria’s President has not attended the global gathering for three consecutive years.
Obi raised the question while commenting on Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama’s address at the 81st UNGA, where he praised Mahama’s leadership and representation of Ghana on the global stage.
He noted that Nigeria, as Africa’s most populous country, should have its President providing leadership and representing the country at major international gatherings.
Although Vice President Kashim Shettima attended the 81st UNGA and represented Nigeria, Obi questioned Tinubu’s continued absence, particularly at a time when Nigeria is facing significant challenges both domestically and internationally.
“Where is the President?” Obi asked, while calling for prayers for Tinubu’s return and leadership in addressing the challenges facing the country.
