Leaders of opposition groups, Atiku Abubakar of Peoples Democratic Party and Peter Obi of Labour Party both knocked Mr Tinubu for staying back in Europe while the country was on fire.
Former President Goodluck Jonathan has pledged to continue to devote his life to promoting peace and service to humanity in the country and across the globe.
Mr Obi noted that compassionate leaders consider the people’s welfare in all their decisions, including actions and inactions.
A statement by presidential spokesperson Bayo Onanuga said Mr Tinubu has been “overseeing critical national issues” from abroad.
“Amid all these, the CEO (Mr Tinubu) of the troubling company called Nigeria is retreating far away land in France from the company’s headquarters,” stated Mr Obi.
Mr Obi said he was surprised that his planned visit to Benue was misunderstood and allegedly blocked by Mr Alia.
Mr Obi stated that Nigerians shared in his grief and would continue to support the Plateau government.
Mr Obi described the late Chukwu as one of the nation’s greatest sports icon.
Peter Obi has urged the European Union to give “special attention” to North-East and North-West geopolitical regions ravaged by “criminality and hardship.”
Mr Umar said the meeting would be closely followed by an interactive session with major stakeholders and other party organs.
