The 2023 Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential
candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has criticized President Bola Tinubu over his huge
entourage to the ongoing COP28 Climate Change Summit in Dubai, United Arab
Emirates.
Atiku said Tinubu turned the global change summit into an
‘Owambe’ all-comers jamboree with his large entourage.
In a statement by his spokesman, Paul Ibe, Atiku said Tinubu
did not understand nor appreciate the enormity of the economic ruin that
Nigeria is facing due to his failed economic policies.
Atiku said the COP28 summit is about improving lives, clean air and water, and healthy food for all people, nature, a safe and secure future, and not for a jamboree party.
According to Atiku: “How will the head of a government turn
a conference of climate change to a jamboree, all-comers and ‘owambe’ party of
over 1,400 delegates? It is ridiculous and a confirmation that he is still in a
slumber as far as governance is concerned.
“The economic dire straits that Nigeria is facing demand
that its leaders cut their coats according to the cloth available. It makes no
sense for us to continue to borrow money to throw a street party outside the
country.
“The leader of the Nigerian delegation should be reminded:
COP28UAE is about improving lives, about clean air and water, healthy food, for
all people, for nature, for a safe and secure future, and not for a jamboree of
over 1,400 Owambe delegates.”
