Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The 2023 Labour Party\u2019s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has charged President Bola Tinubu to stop Governance by remote control in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Obi charged Tinubu to travel round Nigeria and feel the pains of the citizens.<\/p>\n

He gave the charge while taking a comprehensive look at the two-year reign of Tinubu and concluded that a lot is not right in governance delivery and policies of the administration.<\/p>\n

At a press briefing in Abuja to mark the 12th Democracy Day titled: \u2018Democracy in Decline Reflecting on Two Years of Tinubu\u2019s Governance\u2019, Obi gave low ratings to the handling of governance in the last two years.<\/p>\n

Obi said that a lot is going wrong and called on the President to note that \u201cGoverning by remote is not what Nigerians need, you need to go round and get firsthand\u201d percent President should stop touring outside Nigeria and use his remaining 2 years to tour the Nigerian states instead.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cMr. President you have already made over 30 international trips, spending nearly 150 days abroad. If you tour Nigeria\u2019s 36 states and dedicate just 2 days to tour each state, it would take only 72 days for you to do so, less than half the time you have already spent in other areas of the country on foreign trips. You need to go around the country to see.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, more than 18.3 million Nigerian children are out of school, the highest number in the world. The quality of education in Nigeria is also deteriorating rapidly. Many of our children are being taught sciences without any science labs and computer studies without any computers.<\/p>\n

\u201cStudents are now writing WAEC and other national exams in the dark, relying on candles. There are now even glitches in their exams.\u201d<\/p>\n

On healthcare services,Obi said, the situation has worsened drastically as \u201cthe National Primary Health Care Development Agency decried that less than 20% of over 30,000 Primary Health Care Centres across the nation are fully functional.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cI have even, recently visited some Health centres where delivery rooms were without toilets. The United Nations recently reported Nigeria as the world\u2019s worst country to give birth, with one death recorded every seven minutes\u201d Ditto Nigerian businesses that have continued to collapse at alarming rates.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithin the past two years, approximately 7 million Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) shut down across Nigeria. Over 80 manufacturing companies have permanently closed their operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cFunding costs, including the cost of raw materials and energy, have surged to an incredible level, forcing these manufacturers to shut down.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver 15 major multinationals (including GlaxoSmithKline, Diageo, Procter & Gamble, and Shoprite) have exited Nigeria due to the harsh operating environment\u201d<\/p>\n

He said that the hunger crisis arising from food insecurity has deepened in these 2 years. Based on the Global Hunger Index (GHI) report, Fulgaria\u2019s hunger situation has taken a hit, as we are now one of the hungriest countries in the world. \u201cMillions can no longer afford food due to the high costs of food and nonexistent disposable income.\u201d<\/p>\n
