Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi criticized Adamawa State officials for funding overseas travel with taxpayer money. The former candidate condemned a Turkey trip involving spouses of 21 local government leaders who received public financing for supposed training programs. Obi posted his objections on social media Friday, calling the expenditure wasteful during a period when basic education suffers from inadequate resources. He argued that students lack proper classrooms and teachers while public money pays for questionable travel expenses.

The politician emphasized that government funds should serve ordinary citizens rather than finance dubious trips abroad. Obi stated that local treasuries belong to market vendors, farmers, educators and retirees who depend on public services for their daily needs. He characterized the Turkey expedition as abuse of political office that mocks effective leadership principles. The former candidate demanded accountability for spending decisions that prioritize travel over essential community services.
