The African Democratic Congress (ADC) said, the “incompetence” of the governing All Progressives Congress (APC) has followed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to the Ninth Tokyo International Conference on African Development taking place in Yokohama, Japan.
The Coalition Party through its National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, said, the President jetted out of Nigeria with a “large” entourage, yet no one came to the Nigerian booth.
Bolaji’s reaction is coming as a response to a tweet by X user (@idrisayobello) which says: “I hate to show negative things about Nigeria but it is sad that Nigeria is the only unmanned booth at TICAD9 in Japan. Upon all the folks who probably got estacode for coming to Japan
“Only God knows how many Japanese folks have asked me about the unmanned booth seeing my dressing.
“So ashamed I have now designated myself as Honorary Consul and taken over the booth to engage visitors.”
@idrisayobello tweeted with a video which reveal booths of other African countries, Cameroon, Togo…busy with activities.
Bolaji quoted @idrisayobello ‘s tweet and commented: “The APC Government’s incompetence has followed the President to Japan.
“The President travelled with a large entourage, yet there was no one at the Nigerian booth. After this jamboree, who will follow up to ensure that Nigeria actually benefits from #TICAD9?
“When we asked them to appoint ambassadors, they went ahead and appointed KWAM 1.
“Nigerians, this is what “anyhowness” looks like.”
Watch – Nigerian booth empty at TICAD 9
