Presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, has challenged President Bola Tinubu to extend his visits to the remaining 33 states of the federation after spending a night in Akwa Ibom State.
Obi made the call in a post on X on Saturday, following Tinubu’s visit to Akwa Ibom, where the president said his overnight stay would be a “second term presidential sleep” ahead of the 2027 election.
Obi congratulated Tinubu on spending a night in a state outside Lagos and Abuja, urging the president to use such visits to engage directly with Nigerians and explain the impact of his administration. He said he hoped the Akwa Ibom visit would encourage Tinubu to travel to the other 33 states, spend time with the people and account for the resources accruing to the Federal Government. “I sincerely hope this visit will inspire you to travel to the remaining 33 states of the federation, spend time with the people and, more importantly, explain what your administration has done with the ₦15.8 trillion saved from the removal of fuel subsidy, the over $100 billion you have borrowed, the increased revenues accruing to the government from taxing Nigerians, and the additional government revenues which your administration celebrated last year as having surpassed its target,” Obi said. The former Anambra State governor also demanded explanations on the impact of government policies on poverty, education, healthcare and electricity.
