The presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, has criticised President Bola Tinubu over his handling of the recent condolence visit to Plateau State. Obi, in a post on X on Friday, faulted Tinubu for meeting victims of the Jos attack at the airport rather than visiting the affected communities. He described the approach as lacking compassion, insisting that true leadership requires physical presence and empathy in moments of crisis. True leadership requires presence, empathy, compassion, and a willingness to meet people where their pain truly lies. His comments come amid controversy over Tinubu’s visit to Jos, where he met victims at the airport.
