Vice-President Kashim Shettima has returned to Nigeria after attending the 21st Extraordinary Session of the African Union summit in Luanda, Angola. During his absence, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu faced criticism from opposition parties for his decision to travel abroad, with some questioning the leadership of the country. Shettima represented Tinubu at the high-level summit, where Nigeria advocated for stronger African-led conflict prevention and resolution mechanisms, as well as urgent action against xenophobic and Afrophobic attacks in South Africa.
The African Union also adopted the Luanda Action Plan, calling for sustainable financing of Africa's peace and security architecture, increased collective responsibility among member states, and greater African ownership of conflict solutions. Shettima's return to Abuja after completing his engagements in Angola aimed to allay concerns about the country's leadership vacuum.
