The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), through its Board of Trustees (BoT) Chairman, Senator Adolphus Wabara, has sharply criticized the administration of President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima, describing both leaders as unready for the demands of governance.
Wabara expressed frustration over the fact that both the President and his deputy embarked on foreign trips simultaneously, despite the pressing socio-economic challenges facing Nigeria.
According to him, this dual absence is “a clear case of executive irresponsibility” and represents a serious lapse in leadership.
“A leader may travel when necessary,” said Wabara, “but the President must delegate authority properly. It is troubling that the Vice President also left the country while the President was abroad.”
Tinubu recently departed for a two-week official assignment in France, while Shettima attended Senegal’s 65th Independence Day celebration on April 4 as Nigeria’s representative.
The PDP stalwart questioned the wisdom behind such timing, especially at a time when the country is grappling with insecurity, economic instability, and public dissatisfaction.
“Nigeria is dealing with urgent national issues, yet both leaders abandoned their responsibilities at once. This kind of leadership vacuum is unacceptable,” Wabara added.
Wabara believes that the President and Vice President’s actions portray a lack of coordination, and he emphasized that Nigerians deserve better.

Many citizens have taken to social media and forums to express concern, echoing Wabara’s sentiments that governance should never be paused, especially by both top executives at once.
This development has reignited debates over constitutional protocols, particularly whether power should be formally handed over in situations where the President is absent for extended periods.
For context, according to Premium Times Nigeria, there has been a growing call for transparency and accountability in leadership travel protocols, especially when national stability is at stake.
Why This Matters: Leadership in Times of Crisis
At a time when citizens are demanding economic reforms, security improvements, and infrastructure upgrades, the absence of both President Tinubu and Vice President Shettima raises valid concerns about governance priorities and national coordination.
The PDP is urging the administration to reassess its approach to leadership and prioritize Nigeria’s immediate needs over ceremonial or diplomatic appearances.
