Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and political activist, Comrade Timi Frank, demands an apology from Bola Ahmed Tinubu over his “embarrassing” speech at the COP28 climate change event in Dubai.
Frank described the address as “one of the most embarrassing speeches ever, filled with inconsistency and totally out of point.”
Frank expressed dismay over the staggering delegation of over 1,400 government officials and individuals accompanying Tinubu. He labeled the massive entourage as “not only embarrassing to Nigerians but a shame to a government who promised to cut down on spending.”
According to Frank, the cost of the Tinubu’s speech and the extensive delegation has exceeded $20 million, criticizing the delegation’s lack of impact. He pointed out that Nigeria ranked third in delegation size, trailing behind China and Brazil.
“It is sad to see many at the international event wondering how the President of Nigeria would deliver one of the most embarrassing speeches ever,” remarked Frank.

He called for an immediate apology from Tinubu, emphasizing the need for accountability and leadership seriousness. Frank criticized the delegation’s absence during the event, contrasting it with other countries that achieved substantial outcomes with smaller groups.
“This is the reason why Nigerians must support the upcoming grand diaspora protest, of Tinubu must go as this is the only way the people can have their say and save the nation,” Frank declared, expressing hope for a future leader to change the narrative positively.
