| Tinubu and Obi |
Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has joined growing public concern over President Bola Tinubu’s whereabouts.
According to a State House statement, Tinubu left for a three-week working vacation in Europe on August 30, 2026, but has repeatedly postponed his return and appears not to have addressed several pressing domestic and international matters since then.
Obi’s concern intensified after watching Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama’s well-received speech at the 81st UN General Assembly in New York.
Posting on X on the morning of Sunday, September 27, 2026, Obi asked plainly: “Where is Nigeria’s President?”
He wrote: "Here is the remarkable address delivered by Ghana’s dynamic President, John Dramani Mahama, at the 81st UNGA. As the international community commends this distinguished leader, many are asking: Where is the President of Africa’s most populous nation, a country of more than 200 million people - more than Ghana - whose leader has been absent from the global stage for three consecutive UNGAs?
"Nigeria’s President, who ought to be representing and guiding the continent at the international level, has not attended any of these three global gatherings.
"Where is he, particularly at a time when the country faces significant challenges both domestically and internationally?
"Although our Vice President, Kashim Shettima, was present, the question remains: where is the President? "Let us continue to pray for his return and for his leadership in addressing the many challenges confronting the nation, but let us hope that a New Nigeria is possible and will be O-K.”
