Okonkwo Claims Tinubu Avoids UNGA to Evade Arrest
Kenneth Okonkwo, the spokesperson for the African Democratic Congress (ADC) Presidential Campaign, accused President Bola Tinubu of avoiding the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) due to fears of facing the 'Venezuela option' of arrest. During an interview on Arise News, Okonkwo criticized Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, for making statements without acknowledging that Tinubu is allegedly hiding from arrest by U.S.
President Donald Trump. Okonkwo noted that Tinubu has not attended any UNGA sessions since assuming office, suggesting that this absence indicates he is hiding.
He referenced Jimoh Ibrahim, Nigeria's ambassador to the United Nations, who had previously claimed that Tinubu would attend the UNGA and sit with Trump. Okonkwo further alleged that there are serious implications regarding Tinubu's past, including a plea bargain involving $460,000 related to drug trafficking, which he claims is a reason for Tinubu's avoidance of the assembly.
