COP28: PDP knocks Tinubu over 1,411 entourage to Dubai amid hardship

 The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has knocked President
Bola Tinubu over what it termed “over-bloated delegation of about 1,411
individuals to the Conference of the Parties (COP28) in Dubai, United Arab
Emirates”.

 

Reports earlier emerged that the President was accompanied
by 1,411 Nigerians to the UAE event.

 

The report had triggered anger across the country as
Nigerians accused the All Progressives Congress-led Federal Government of being
insensitive to the plight of Nigerians.

 

Reacting, PDP in a statement issued on Sunday by its
National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba held that the development further
validated insinuation that “the Tinubu-led APC administration is wasteful,
frivolous and reckless in the application of the scarce resources of the
nation, especially at a time Nigerians are yearning for prudent management of
resources to achieve the desired infrastructural regeneration, job creation and
revamping of the economy”.

 

The main opposition party questioned why a country “whose
citizens are dying daily from inability to purchase necessities would be
willing to fritter its resources and scarce foreign exchange in such a manner.”

 

According to the PDP, Tinubu’s action of conveying number of
individuals to the event, only “points to the fact that this administration is
not interested in the good of the generality of our citizens but for a select
few positioned to fleece the nation’s resources”.

 

The party challenged the Presidency to “come clean by making
public the names of the official delegation sponsored by the Federal Government
to the conference”, stressing that the relevance of such individuals to the
conference and the total cost of such sponsorship on the nation should be revealed.
