Canada Delegation: Wrong for president’s aide to lead elected governors on foreign mission – ADC

The African Democratic Congress, ADC, has faulted the selection of a presidential aide, to lead a delegation of state governors to a foreign mission.

In a post on X, the National Publicity Secretary of the ADC, Bolaji Abdullahi, said it was absurd for a personal aide to the president and and his Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila to lead elected governors on such a mission.

Recall that President Tinubu had approved a Federal Government delegation led by Gbajabiamila to represent Nigeria at the maiden Nigeria Diaspora Investment Economic Conference in Toronto, Canada.

The delegation includes Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, Anambra State Governor, Chukwuma Soludo, Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang and Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal, as well as some ministers.

In an outrage over the president’s decision, the ADC spokesman said, “Just when you think that you have seen the worst of this Tinubu government, they will just surprise you.

“How can the President’s Chief of Staff, an unelected personal aide of the president, lead elected state governors on a foreign mission. It is well,” he tweeted.
