Former Presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has tackled President Bola Tinubu of Nigeria and his Vice President Kashim Shettima for travelling out of Nigeria at the same time.

President Tinubu departed Nigeria on October 2, 2024, for a two-week work leave in the United Kingdom, Shettima on the other hand left the shores of Nigeria for Sweden on Wednesday, October 16, on a two-day visit to represent Nigeria in bilateral engagements with the Scandinavian nation.

Some Nigerians have frowned against it, the Presidency in a statement released by Presidential spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, said there is no vacuum in governance as both leaders are fully engaged with the nation’s affairs, even while they are away.

It doesn't make sense, if the president decides to travel, the vice has to be around to ensure things are in order until his comes back. The painful thing about all this is that next presidential election, people would still heavily vote this government.

That's Nigerian politicians for you. They just believe they are above the law and nothing can happen to them

One funny thing about Nigeria government is that everybody can do as he think fit. There is no order and proper government protocols. It is absolutely wrong for two major executives to leave the country when the country have serious terrorism on ground.

it is just sad for the country that things are done badly by those that should even do the right things
