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&#8217;s return date to his visibly troubled nation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Nigeria\u2019s 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\u2019s suffering rather than these overseas conferences that contribute little or no tangible value to our nation&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What our nation needs now is security of lives and properties, economic stability and ensuring that our people have food on their table.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He implored Tinubu to commence a tour of the entire country to feel the pulse of the nation and witness first-hand what Nigerians are facing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Though Nigerians know that our huge problems cannot be solved overnight, they want to see 100% effort and tireless commitment to solving them.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Most importantly, our President must know that he&#8217;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,&#8221; Obi opined<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Obi said the incessant globetrotting of Tinubu smacks of insensitivity to the plight of suffering Nigerians and must be reduced.
