The Conference of United Political Parties (CUPP) has condemned the simultaneous foreign trips of President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima, calling it a “dereliction of duty.” As Nigeria faces economic decline, rising insecurity, and a depreciating naira, the CUPP expressed deep concerns over the absence of the nation’s top leaders.
Peter Ahmeh, National Secretary of the CUPP, stated, “Their decision to leave Nigeria during such a critical period is irresponsible and unpatriotic.” He emphasized that the country is in dire need of strong leadership to address soaring inflation and the currency crisis.
Ahmeh also warned that the leadership vacuum could stall critical governance decisions and further destabilize Nigeria’s fragile economy. He urged both leaders to return immediately and called on the National Assembly to hold them accountable for the governance gap.
