Nigeria Democratic Congress presidential candidate Peter Obi has publicly challenged President Bola Tinubu to tour the remaining thirty-three states of the federation. The challenge follows the president's recent overnight stay in Akwa Ibom State during a political event.
While participating in an All Progressives Congress campaign gathering in Uyo, President Tinubu publicly noted that he would remain in the state overnight for what he described as a second term presidential sleep. The remark drew attention across various political circles and platforms.
Responding via social media, Obi offered a congratulatory note regarding the presidential stay in Akwa Ibom while pivoting the moment into a call for broader nationwide engagement. He argued that leadership requires direct interaction with citizens across all regions to understand local living conditions.
Furthermore, the opposition figure urged the president to utilize potential future state visits to provide detailed accounts of major fiscal developments. Specifically, he called for explanations concerning funds accumulated from subsidy removals, recent federal borrowings, heightened tax revenues, and total government earnings surpassing previous financial targets.
