PETER OBI SLAMS TINUBU'S DELAYED RESPONSE TO NATIONAL TRAGEDIES.

Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has criticized President Bola Tinubu's delayed visit to crisis-hit regions. 

The former governor of Anambra State, in a post on X, praised President Tinubu's planned visit to Benue State following a massacre but pointed out that similar compassion should be shown to Niger State, where floods claimed over 200 lives and left more than 1,000 people missing.

Emphasizing that presidential presence in disaster-hit areas can be very reassuring and uplifting for grieving communities, Obi compared President Tinubu's response with that of his South African counterpart, Cyril Ramaphosa, who traveled over 1,800kilometers to visit flood victims. 

Urging President Tinubu to demonstrate proactive leadership that responds with compassion and action, Obi also advised him to visit Mokwa in Niger State, as it would send a strong message that all Nigerian lives matter and no community is forgotten. 

He also urged the president to enhance security and disaster preparedness, especially in vulnerable regions, and to show leadership that responds with more than just words.
