Sowore Calls Tinubu's UK Trip a Diplomatic Waste
Human rights lawyer Omoyele Sowore, a 2023 presidential candidate, claims President Tinubu's UK visit offers nothing to Nigeria, calling it a "diplomatic excursion." Sowore argues the trips are a waste, costing more than any potential investment returns. "The cost of these travels is far more at the end," he said, adding Nigeria is "burning fuel in the air with our aircraft." Sowore contrasts this with musicians who bring more value through foreign tours. Tinubu's administration maintains the visits attract investment, but Sowore insists no "single dime" has come to Nigeria. The UK visit marks the first by a Nigerian leader in decades, with Tinubu meeting King Charles III to discuss trade and port renovations.
