The Lagos State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has taken note of yet another pedestrian outburst credited to Peter Obi, wherein he theatrically asks, \u201cWhere\u2019s our President?\u201d- a question that betrays not only his chronic obsession with optics but also his persistent difficulty with governance realities in a modern state.<\/p>\n
It is instructive that such a question is coming from an analog presidential aspirant struggling to process a digital presidency. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is neither missing nor absent; he is actively engaged in the complex, demanding business of statecraft- often beyond the simplistic, camera-ready theatrics that Mr. Obi appears to prefer. Governance, contrary to Mr. Obi\u2019s belief, is not a social media check-in nor a daily photo-op; it is the painstaking coordination of policy, security, diplomacy, and economic reform.<\/p>\n
While Mr. Obi fixates on physical sightings, the nation witnesses tangible actions: decisive economic reforms, strategic security engagements, robust diplomatic outreach, and a clear articulation of Nigeria\u2019s renewed global posture. The President\u2019s schedule is driven by national interest, not the convenience of political hecklers who confuse noise for substance.<\/p>\n
One wonders whether Mr. Obi\u2019s fixation stems from his own limited appreciation of executive responsibility. Nigerians have not forgotten that leadership is measured by outcomes, not by a leader\u2019s constant visibility in the public square. The President remains fully in charge-constitutionally, operationally, and morally-directing the affairs of the nation with focus and resolve.<\/p>\n
The Lagos APC therefore advises Mr. Obi to upgrade his political firmware. Nigeria has moved beyond analog politics of grandstanding and hollow soundbites. The country deserves, and indeed has, a President who works-sometimes quietly, always purposefully-rather than one who performs for applause.<\/p>\n
