Why Fayemi, El-rufai Are Attending WEF Despite Fg’s Boycott – Onyeama by luckier9(op): 2:51pm On Sep 05, 2019
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, on Thursday, said that governors already attending the World Economic Forum (WEF) in South Africa is not an affront to the decision of the Federal Government of Nigeria.

According to him, those governors and other individuals were already in South Africa before a decision was reached for Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to boycott the WEF due to xenophobic attacks in South Africa.

Briefing State House correspondents in Abuja, he also pointed out that the WEF is an international function, which was not organized by South Africa.“The forum started a long time ago and the governors were already there before our decision was taken”, he said.

According to him, Nigeria only stated a position that its top officials would not be in Capetown to register its protest against the xenophobic attacks.

Some of the Nigerian governors who have gone ahead to attend the World Economic Forum included the Chairman of the Nigerian Governors Forum, and Ekiti State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi, and Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State.

Other Nigerians participating at the forum include a former Minister of Education, Obiageli Ezekwesili.

But when they berated bashir Ahmed of hypocrisy, one of the zombies roaming this forum wore helmet and came out to defend him.

The useless fellow even started telling us he went for Pulitzer award.



What a pity.

Not that I owe some of you little minds any response but it is always proper to set the records straight so that you won’t misinform others. Below is a link to a press statement issued by the governor of Ekiti State. The content is exactly what I wrote earlier. My posts are with the best of intentions and not to play sick and dirty politics like you guys do. We are not all liars.

You think this is my job? shocked

Instead of calling the foreign affairs minister a liar, start by providing a credible link to back up the story.
