Tinubu Administration Critiques Obi's Rwanda Comments

The administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu responded to comments made by former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi regarding Nigeria's delegation to the African CEO Forum held in Rwanda. Tinubu's administration described Obi's remarks as failing to reflect the true composition and significance of Nigeria's delegation, which included prominent business figures such as Aliko Dangote, Abdul Samad Rabiu, Toni Elumelu, Wale Tinubu, and Jim Ovia.

The statement emphasized that diplomatic engagements are designed to strengthen trade partnerships, improve investor confidence, and advance long-term economic gains, rather than being mere "reality TV" spectacles. The administration defended Tinubu's foreign trips as essential for national economic recovery and investment attraction, highlighting ongoing reforms such as the removal of fuel subsidies and the unification of the foreign exchange market.

The statement concluded by urging Obi to reflect on the importance of political stability and consistency.
