Mumuni Supports Shettima's Role at UNGA for Nigeria
Mr. Abayomi Nurain Mumuni, a security expert and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), supported President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's choice to delegate Vice President Kashim Shettima to represent Nigeria at the 81st United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York, United States. This marks the third consecutive year Shettima will lead Nigeria's delegation.
In a statement released by his media aide, Rasheed Abubakar, Mumuni argued that the debate surrounding the President's absence should be contextualized within the UNGA's operational framework. He described the assembly as a platform for member states to discuss global issues and engage in diplomacy.
Mumuni asserted that the physical presence of a president is not the sole measure of a country's diplomatic engagement, noting that international law does not mandate a president's attendance. He highlighted that Vice President Shettima is well-equipped to represent Nigeria and articulate its positions at the gathering.
