Femi Fani-Kayode, Nigeria's High Commissioner to South Africa, accused the South African presidency of deliberately omitting his speech from a diplomatic ceremony's livestream. However, South African presidential spokesperson Vincent Magwenya rejected the claim, stating that President Cyril Ramaphosa did not intervene in the broadcaster's operations and that Fani-Kayode misrepresented the incident.
Separately, Presidential aide O’tega Ogra dismissed reports of an attack on President Bola Tinubu's convoy in Abuja, describing circulating videos as misleading and sharing footage of the President leaving the mosque peacefully amid supporters.
