Tinubu converted COP28 Dubai summit into ‘owambe’ jamboree with 1,411 delegates – Atiku

President Bola Tinubu has drawn criticism from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate for 2023, Atiku Abubakar, for bringing a sizable entourage to the ongoing COP28 Climate Change Summit in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

With his enormous entourage, Atiku said Tinubu converted the global change conference into a “Owambe” all-comers jamboree.

Paul Ibe, Atiku’s spokesperson, stated in a statement that Tinubu was unaware of the severity of the economic catastrophe Nigeria is currently experiencing as a result of his misguided economic policies.

The COP28 conference, according to Atiku, is not for a jamboree party but rather for bettering lives, clean air and water, good food for everyone, nature, and a safe and secure future.

How would the leader of a government transform a climate change conference into an open-to-all, jam-packed “owambe” party with over 1,400 delegates, according to Atiku? From a governing perspective, it is absurd and another evidence that he is still asleep.

Because of its severe economic conditions, Nigeria’s leaders are forced to cut their coats to fit the available material. We are not going to be able to afford to keep borrowing money to have a street celebration abroad.

The head of the Nigerian delegation needs to be reminded that the purpose of COP28UAE is not to host a jamboree of more than 1,400 Owambe delegates, but rather to improve lives, promote healthy eating and air and water quality, and protect the environment for the benefit of all people.
