With 1,411 delegates, Tinubu turned the COP28 Dubai conference into a ‘owambe’ jamboree – Atiku

Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2023, has slammed President Bola Tinubu for his large entourage to the ongoing COP28 Climate Change Summit in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

With his enormous entourage, Tinubu, according to Atiku, converted the global change conference into a ‘Owambe’ all-comers jamboree.

According to Atiku’s spokesman, Paul Ibe, Tinubu does not grasp or realize the magnitude of the economic disaster that Nigeria is suffering as a result of his failing economic policies.

According to Atiku, the COP28 meeting is about improving lives, clean air and water, and healthy food for all people, nature, and a safe and secure future, not a party.

According to Atiku:

“How will the head of a government turn a conference of climate change to a jamboree, all-comers and ‘owambe’ party of over 1,400 delegates? It is ridiculous and a confirmation that he is still in a slumber as far as governance is concerned.

“The economic dire straits that Nigeria is facing demand that its leaders cut their coats according to the cloth available. It makes no sense for us to continue to borrow money to throw a street party outside the country.

“The leader of the Nigerian delegation should be reminded: COP28UAE is about improving lives, about clean air and water, healthy food, for all people, for nature, for a safe and secure future, and not for a jamboree of over 1,400 Owambe delegates.”
