Obi Compares Trump’s China Visit to Tinubu’s UK Trip: Diplomacy Should Yield Deals, Not Parades
Peter Obi has criticised President Bola Tinubu’s recent state visit to the United Kingdom, arguing that such trips must deliver measurable economic benefits and not just ceremonial displays. Obi said diplomacy should focus on investments, technology transfer, trade agreements and job creation. He pointed to Donald Trump’s visit to China, which he claims resulted in multi-billion-dollar deals and the presence of global business leaders. He questioned what Nigeria secured from the UK trip despite a large entourage of politicians and officials. Obi asked which factories, industrial partnerships or investments would translate into jobs for ordinary Nigerians. With rising insecurity, inflation and unemployment, Obi stressed that every kobo spent abroad must yield tangible outcomes. He called for leadership focused on productivity and measurable economic results rather than fashion parades.
