COP28: PDP Sends Message To Tinubu
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has raised concerns over President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s delegation of 1,411 individuals to the Conference of the Parties (COP28) in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
The party criticized the move, describing it as wasteful, frivolous, and reckless in the use of the nation’s scarce resources.

The PDP rejected the attempt to rationalize the delegation, asserting that it includes cronies, mistresses, and other irrelevant individuals associated with the Presidency, who are reportedly attending at government expense.
The opposition party emphasized the need for prudent management of resources for infrastructural development and economic revival.
“Our Party and all well-meaning Nigerians are appalled by the level of profligacy inherent in the APC administration whose actions and policies so far are skewed towards the promotion and institutionalization of corruption.
“The attempt to deceive Nigerians even when the list of the delegation is in the public domain, shows that the APC administration is irredeemably depraved.
“We ask, why would a country whose citizens are dying daily from inability to purchase necessities be willing to fritter its resources and scarce foreign exchange in such a manner? It only points to the fact that this administration is not interested in the good of the generality of our citizens but for a select few positioned to fleece the nation’s resources.
“Our Party challenges the Presidency to come clean by making public the names of the official delegation sponsored by the Federal Government to the Conference, the relevance of such individuals to the Conference and the total cost of such sponsorship on the nation. Of course, Nigerians have the list and they know the genuine, officials of sub-national governments and other self-sponsored entities at the Conference,” the statement partly read.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) urged the National Assembly, invoking its constitutional duty under Section 88, to investigate the delegation matter to COP28.
The party, represented by its spokesperson, Hon. Debo Ologunagba, called for appropriate sanctions on anyone or institution found culpable in what it deemed an embarrassing revelation.
The PDP further demanded that President Tinubu should be prepared to refund any improperly spent Federal Government funds on individuals with no relevance at the conference. The party emphasized the redirection of such funds to projects benefiting the well-being of Nigerians.
