Tinubu's 23-day January foreign trips draw criticism amid Nigeria's challenges
President Bola Tinubu spent 23 days on foreign trips in January 2026, visiting France for a holiday, Abu Dhabi for sustainability week, and Turkey for state visits. Critics like Peter Obi and citizens argue this excessive travel during insecurity and economic hardship is unjustifiable, demanding tangible results from such diplomacy. Supporters counter that international engagement is essential for Nigeria's global standing and economic partnerships.
