Atiku Abubakar's media aide, Paul Ibe, has criticized President Bola Tinubu for his absence at the current 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York. Ibe likened Tinubu's shift from a front-row seat at the UNGA to a housekeeping role in France. The Vice President, Kashim Shettima, is currently representing Nigeria at the UNGA.
However, President Tinubu is instead participating in what appears to be an extended vacation in France. Nigeria's Permanent Representative to the UN, Jimoh Ibrahim, defended Tinubu's absence, stating that the president cannot attend the UNGA and deliver a 15-minute speech. Many of those on the UNGA speaking list are vice presidents and foreign affairs ministers.
Ibe's reaction was scathing, stating that Tinubu has become the worst promoter of Nigeria abroad. A tweet from Ibe stated: "President Bola Tinubu @officialABAT has gone from a reportedly front-row seat at UNGA to a housekeeper role in France."
