‘What Are You Afraid Of In The US?’ Atiku Questions Tinubu’s Third Straight UNGA Absence, Links It To ‘American Baggage’
‘What Are You Afraid Of In The US?’ Atiku Questions Tinubu’s Third Straight UNGA Absence, Links It To ‘American Baggage’ Atiku said the repeated absences required an explanation, arguing that UNGA provides heads of government with opportunities to hold bilateral meetings, pursue partnerships and advance their countries’ interests.
Nigeria’s delegation to the upcoming United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) will remain strong, according to Ambassador Jimoh Ibrahim, the country’s Permanent Representative. Despite President Bola Tinubu’s absence, the envoy assured that the nation will be represented adequately. Approximately 60% of the speakers listed are being represented by either their vice presidents or foreign ministers.
Ibrahim further stated that Vice President Kashim Shettima would represent Tinubu, alongside the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, and other senior government officials. Tinubu, currently in France on annual leave, will not personally attend the session. Ibrahim emphasized that the absence of the president should not be seen as a lack of representation, and Nigeria will continue to fully participate in the proceedings.
