The group questions the president’s decision to go on this kind of tour given that they believe Nigeria is in desperate need of leadership.

The CUPP expressed dissatisfaction and disruption over Tinubu’s alleged secret visits to France, stating that the nation might have reverted to the Buhari period.

In order to prevent Nigerians from experiencing this again, it is suggested that a thorough physical examination be required when selecting a leader.

The coalition issued a statement under the signature of Peter Ameh, its national publicity secretary, saying, “We hope and believe that these private trips do not involve something untoward that is hidden from Nigerians who voted for him to salvage the country, which has been in a downward spiral.”

“The real motivations behind these private visits are starting to come under scrutiny, and tongues are starting to wag.

“We hope that Nigeria won’t see another Buhari 2.0 presidency, in which the President will occasionally slink out of the nation on a private visit to a foreign nation for medical attention without giving prior notice.

“President Tinubu has to understand that Nigeria is struggling with a plethora of issues, including rampant inflation, extreme hunger and malnutrition, uncontrollably high unemployment, and a host of other issues. With our currency exchanging at around a thousand five hundred naira to the US dollar, the value of the naira is rapidly declining.

Whatever the motive for these private visits, CUPP stated that it believes and advises that “the country needs a hands-on-deck president, and provision should be made urgently to have them brought to Nigeria,” if such facilities are not already available.

“In order to ensure that the President’s role has not been delegated to individuals who are unfit to hold it, Nigeria must have the President in person.”
