Bode George, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has strongly criticized President Bola Tinubu for traveling to France amid Nigeria’s escalating insecurity crisis. George expressed shame that while Nigerians no longer feel safe, Tinubu’s administration is prioritizing trivial matters, such as recalling suspended Kogi Central Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.

In a statement titled “Whither Nigeria, my beloved country,” George condemned Tinubu’s decision to travel abroad while the country faces numerous challenges, including insecurity, hunger, and joblessness. He emphasized that history will judge the current administration harshly for its actions.

Tinubu’s spokesman announced that the president is expected to return to Nigeria in about a fortnight. However, George’s criticism highlights the growing concerns among Nigerians about the president’s priorities and his ability to address the country’s pressing issues.

He said,

“Today, and with the series of crises, insecurity, hunger, joblessness and other vices in the country, President Bola Tinubu has taken off to Paris, France for reasons best known to him and his handlers.

“Nigerians don’t feel safe anymore in their fatherland, but the Federal Government, All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Senate are only interested in recalling Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan. What a shame!

“Aside from the fact that history is a faithful record of the past, it is also a prophecy of what is coming. That is why Fela’s song is still apt, decades after. Today, I see what led to the collapse of the First and Second republics being repeated by the APC-led Federal Government.”

On Wednesday, President Tinubu jetted out of Nigeria to France.

Tinubu’s spokesman, Bayo Onanuga said the president is expected to “return to Nigeria in about a fortnight”.
