Joe Keshi Defends Tinubu's Absence at UNGA Meeting
Joe Keshi, a former Nigerian diplomat, questioned the benefits of former President Muhammadu Buhari's attendance at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) while discussing President Bola Tinubu's absence on Arise Television’s Morning Show. Keshi stated that the debate over Tinubu's absence is irrelevant as long as Nigeria is adequately represented.
He emphasized that the quality of representation and the issues presented should be the focus, rather than the President's personal attendance. Keshi noted that Vice President Kashim Shettima leading the Nigerian delegation is sufficient and that Nigeria's presence at the UNGA is the priority.
He remarked on the unnecessary debate regarding the President's attendance, stating that in the past, Nigeria's leaders have missed the UNGA without significant consequences. Keshi concluded that as long as Nigeria is represented, the specifics of who leads the delegation are less important.
