Akpabio Cancels Dubai Trip Amid Outrage Over Nigeria’s COP28 1,411 Delegates by dre11(m): 2:44pm On Dec 06, 2023
Senate President Godswill Akpabio, Tuesday, cancelled his scheduled trip to Dubai, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) following the outrage that trailed Nigeria’s 1,411 delegates to the COP28 Climate Change Summit.

Nigeria had the third-highest delegation at the summit.

The figure is comprised of government officials, representatives of the private sector, and civil society organisations

The federal government, through the Minister of Information, Mohammed Idris said the government only funded 422 delegates.

The parliamentary version of the conference was set to open on Tuesday, and legislators from around the world were expected to attend.

Akpabio, who was billed to travel to Dubai for the session cancelled the trip.

Speaking at a one-day retreat on the 2024 budget in Abuja yesterday, the Senate President said he cancelled his trip out of fear of being criticized by Nigerians.

He said he decided to focus on the 2024 budget defence sessions with government agencies.

“I have decided to stay back and I asked somebody from Cote d’Ivoire to represent me there,” Akpabio told the gathering..

Damnnn niggar


If you criticise Jonathan, Buhari and now you no longer want to criticise tinubu because of tribalism and religion sentiments may you and your children know no peace
If you were gingered in 2012 protest when Jonathan removed subsidy and you were part of the protest but now you suddenly lost your voice for a protest when the suffering under tinubu is getting worse may you and your children know no peace
As at today federal tertiary institution staffs have not received their salary

Hehehe.

Shameless leaders. They rub off their luxury and enjoyment on the faces of the poor masses.
The definition of broke in Nigeria must be different. They told us Nigeria is broke,but all their actions and inactions points to luxury, waste and imprudence.

This government is really becoming insensitive as days pass by.

They don't care because their will always be clowns around to defend them.

Where Are the Agbado urchins that feel that politic is "my tribe first" instead of Nigerians first?
They have left them behind. They are suffering the same fate as the rest of Us are doing; same minimum wage, inflation cost and insecurity.
While the person they are standing on his mandate is busy funding 10billion travel tour.
