Buhari is a WALKING President. Who brought this mess on us na?
So u spent our money just to be walking up and down in US when your mates are busy attracting investments into their country. Just Continue...

. A big disgrace, Can you imagine a President walking to the un headquarters,maybe he should have taken Keke napep. Where are all our Diplomats in the Embassy,SMH

Now we've found out that it was a deliberate sabotage by some worthless and incompetent civil servants and residue from the last useless and incompetent administration PMB should have fired long time.

For this, I blame PMB. Trusting the same useless, worthless and incompetent people Nigerians just rejected at the polls to look out for him was a fatal error and naivety on his part.


Nigerians went to the polls to get rid of these bad eggs and PMB rightfully trying to do things the right way in effect allowed the same people to contaminate his activities.

These worthless and and incompetent people should have been sacked.

PMB, you reap what you sow.

This one is on you...

Why would she be sabotaging her country. Everybody should hold up their hands and take responsibility in this, the presidency aren't blameless.

I don't believe the writeup in its entirety. Pro Ogwu is experienced and competent. She's been involved in the organisation of such conferences at the UN for several consecutive years. We have Nigerian ambassador to US as well as Permanent Secretary of Ministry of Foreign Affairs all involved in the planning and execution. Why are they not blamed

Members of President Buhari’s delegation to the United nations General Assembly have accused Prof.Joy Ogwu, Nigeria’s Permanent Representative to the UN, of sabotaging President Muhammadu Buhari’s participation, citing glaring missteps that have embarrassed the delegation and undermined Nigeria’s/

The accusation follows curious circumstances in which Nigeria missed two key events, putting its leadership on the spot. The first was a Boko Haram response event chaired by a UN Under-Secretary Mike O’Brien, which Buhari missed completely.

The Nigeria leader, who will speak in the general debate this evening, also missed a meeting with the Catholic Pontiff, Pope Francis, because of his late arrival to the meeting, the bizarre circumstances of which are only just being understood.

Sources within the delegation told SaharaReporters that the delegation also missed at least two other events and has had a difficult time securing full participation in the very important 70th Assembly.

In the case of the Boko Haram event, the sources told our reporter that it was never put on President Buhari’s calendar by the Nigerian mission.

Regarding the event with the Pope, Buhari missed it because when he came down from his hotel suite, there was no car to take him to the meeting. When he decided to walk to the event with his entourage, he was taken by Nigerian mission officials to the wrong gate, where they were denied entry by security agents.

Buhari then walked back to his hotel where, when he got on the elevator, the mission finally brought a car to take him to see the Pope.

Sources say when he made that second trip in the Mission’s car, he was again driven to yet another wrong gate and the delegation was turned back.

Also, yesterday an attempt by the delegation to attend a side meeting where Nigeria was to have declared its support for the “Commitment to Gender Equality” initiative almost failed as the mission failed to provide any secondary party to facilitate the Nigerian delegation’s participation. It took the intervention of the Chinese mission to help former member of house of reps Abike Dabiri and other delegates to get into the event.

And then today, members of the Nigerian delegation led by the governor of Niger state again denied access to another important event, “EveryWoman, EveryChild,” because of poor organization.

As Buhari prepares to speak today at the UN, the delegation also hit a major hitch as the Mission did not process tickets for all members of the delegation to get into the event. Only President Buhari and a few members of his protocol team were accredited to get in the venue. Our source said it was when Buhari finally got upset about it that Prof. Ogwu when out and processed acoustic tickets to enable a larger number of delegates to attend the event.

Apart from the fiasco with accreditation and general conference management, the members of the delegation are also not provided food in their hotel rooms as is the tradition. Instead, they are made to eat at a buffet at the Mission. According to his aides, President Buhari refused to go to the buffet.

The Nigerian delegation is staying at the ONE UN New York, (the former Millennium UN Plaza Hotel), across the road from the UN, and on the same block with the Nigerian Mission.

Prof. Ogwu’s tenure expires in December 2015. Several UN observers blames President Buhari for the mess, he berates the president delays in appointing ministers saying it is a major reason his UN trip failed miserably. A retired Nigerian diplomat told Saharareporters that President Buhari must have seen the folly in relying on unsupervised civil servants to run the affairs of state since he came to power.

Its high time APC know that they are the govt in power and own up to the credits and mess they are bring to this nation.They should leave blame game and face governance.

If Buhari likes he should continue delaying, it is a matter of time before inefficiency spreads to other ministries.

BabaO2:
Who says? did jonathan go back to senate before sanusi was fired on Ezeife's instruction? tell me the difference please

Sanusi was suspended for the mismanagement of cbn fund.Remember he donated #100m to idps without approval.When he was query about it he started saying #20b Nnpc money was missing.So if emefiele does the same he would face the same fate.But if not he remains the cbn gov until his tenure expires.

Good question my brother. So it is only Pro Ogwu that will be blame, leaving Nigeria Ambassador and the Permanent secretary of the ministry of foreign affairs.

Shame! Shame!! Shame!!!

seunmsg:
Ambassador Joy Ogwu as Nigeria's permanent representative to the UN is saddled with the responsibility of preparing the presidents meeting schedules and itinerary during the general assembly. If it is true that she deliberately refused to include the boko haram response event in the presidents schedule, then she should not just be blamed, she should be sanctioned or removed.

And what happens to the perm sec. of foreign affairs whom uncle Buhari entrusted with the responsibility of running our foreign affairs , read the last paragraph of the article and understand.

Because they are from the north.

coolbis:
I think for the sake of peace mr president should just allow her serve her term, since her term expires dec 15. I just wonder if a country has a mandate to attend all sessions in the un general assembly. When you listen to some of these pro jona guys, you will wonder if some of them even read some of these writes-up at all.

if that be the case then I think Buhari will permit that, but all the same I can't claim to speak for him nor his team

Government made up of Protestants is always their signatures, unpreparedness leading to confusion, now looking for escape goat to land their Bleep up.

What is the duty of minister of external affairs?Is it not to work in collaboration with the u.n ambassador to nigeria?Has buhari appointed a minister to that effect?

new2020:
A lot of you would read this article and not understand the subtle message...Amb. Ogwu is responsible and should be removed. This is evil yoruba people for you....this people are implacably evil. Runs in their DNA and culture. Isn't it the same Amb. Ogwu that has handled all missions for past presidents from Obj, Yaradua to GEJ without any hitch? Presidency should own up to its fault and stop blaming this fine distinguished woman. This was how the very same Yoruba media rubbished Oduah, Iweala, Madueke, Oteh, e.t.c. So I want you to grasp the subtle message from this evil yoruba media....remove her. The question becomes...why did the Presidency lie when this issue was raised few days ago? Why did they lie that the meeting was not official? TALK TO ME! Now the coverup is let's put the blame on this distinguished woman. THIS IS HOW THIS EVIL PEOPLE SINGLEHANDEDLY DESTROYED THE NAMES OF OUR BEAUTIFUL DISTINGUISHED BIAFRAN WOMEN. NOW PROF. OGWU OF ALL? I can't tell you how disgruntled I'm. This is why this country is going and has been going down the pit...mediocrity! If you don't appreciate the service of these fine women; obviously you hate them, then give us Biafra so that they can serve us.

My advice to Prof. Ogwu, resign and take up a private or corporate job like Iweala and Oteh. You will be recalled when Biafra comes. This country is not worth it ma'am!

Oga, I read your post with an objective mind til I got to the point were you said 'rubbished madueke', there I spat on your post and walked away! Madueke is rubbish, there is nothing left to rubbish about her.

Shambolic representation. To the extent a whole, a whole Presido dey use leggedes bemz in a foreign land. If a sniper spot him or car jam him or something happen, who will take the blame?


Is it also called excess when the necessary protocols are carried for the 'COMFORT OF THE PRESIDENT'


WRONG GATE AGAIN!!

and to cap it all up, the media have been so effectively used to do one task-Mask the truth from Nigerians either by twist or perfect lie!! What are we taken for-Mugu, mumu or what? Smh


(drops jotter;refuse to jot one or two things)

I still don't understand what country's president walks from point A to point B in the US. I would expect them to fly everywhere with presidential vehicles.

Obama went to Kenya with the presidencial vehicles stashed in the US presidential plane.

In our case, the president had to wait on rides or walk if he has to.

I think someone needs to take a better look at how these trips are planned. Walking around by a president is unheard of. Security is paramount.

Sincere9gerian:
That is what you get in a govt of confusion! Obviously, Buhari's body odor could not fix the mess either

shut up, stinking igbo man. That Joy Ugwu is an igbo saboteur. She deliberately, carried out instructions from PDP and stu.pid ndigbo

Regarding the event with the Pope, Buhari missed it because when he came down from his hotel suite, there was no car to take him to the meeting. When he decided to walk to the event with his entourage, he was taken by Nigerian mission officials to the wrong gate, where they were denied entry by security agents

So did he walk with his entourage or did the Nigerian mission officials take him?

Wetin we talk?

This government never takes responsibillity for anything.

They must always point fingers at the previous administration

Honestly, its really childish, irresponsible and immature

It's sad we have to endure this blame-trading for the next four years

journerman:
Why would she be sabotaging her country. Everybody should hold up their hands and take responsibility in this, the presidency aren't blameless.

I wonder how meeting with Pope was more important than fund raising for bokoharam.


My only problem is that APC has never accepted responsibility for their failures and that might spell doom for their blind followers.


My other critical observation is that the meetings PMB and his entourage missed are actually the ones the current government pays little or no attention to e.g imagine gender equality, meeting a Pope, the chief infidel. Lol.

In 9ce's voice, no be mistake dat our entourage missed d meetings.

Old man choosing old fellows to lead him to d market tell me y they won't arrive the market meeting left overs? Na dem sabi shall...APC I've said dis severally they never have any proper blue print to run d affairs of dis country. D victory of d election took dem unaware that they're now very confused on what to do next b4 they will knw what's happening 4yrs must have gone pass dem and nigerians will b voting them out. So sorry for her citizens because they keep suffering round d cycle

Soon as I read the name of the "suspected " culprit here, I knew the "our people " immigrants will start foaming in the mouth. Biafrans!

The summary is that Jonathan found it difficult to work with sanusi and he got him fired, the same reason will be used against emefiele, no one can stop/query him for that because he has the responsibility. Sanusi never committed any offence, he has right to spend all monies you mentioned according to CBN laws, president only found him difficult to work with and a mole in his cabinet.

Do you know the duties of the Ambassador to the UN?

Yes, PMB got the embarrassment worthy of a President, it also shows to the world how incompetent Ambassador Joy Ogwu is.

Don't criticize or wail just because that's what is trending.

Duru1:
The Daura Dumbass duplicated his idiotic nonchalance to details and continues to hurry into issues he is clueless about. How could moronic Nigerians rush to USA without months of understanding what the timetable looked like and marry to the highly sophistication of United Nation method of operation? This Fulani jackass and his cronies are fanning flimsy excuses towards any department in Nigeria headed by none-Fulani or person not from northern Nigeria. What briefings were given to Daura Dumbass by the ministry of external affairs before jetting out of Nigeria? If the moronic dingbat could not even adhere to UN schedule of events, how can the jackass contemplate the solution to Nigeria’s headache?

hmmm....
