The president has nevertheless come under criticism over his frequent travels considering the many challenges facing the country. There is the continuing insurgency in the North with Boko Haram bombing and undefeated. There is also a growing uprising in the South East as splinter groups clash with the police over their agitation for Biafra. The economy is also under a downturn with the capital market dropping to a three year low and the gap between the official and parallel market of the exchange rate widening by the day.

In response to the criticisms the presidential spokesman claims all his travels are a necessary aspects of his change mantra.
