Fani-Kayode scores Tinubu high in his achievement compared to Buhari years in office.
Femi Fani-Kayode, a former minister of aviation, said Tinubu has achieved in a few days what the Buhari administration could not do in many years.
“In the last few days our President has placed Nigeria back at the center-stage of international affairs where she rightly belongs,” Fani-Kayode said.
“After a fantastic outing in India at the G20 summit which has attracted billions of dollars in investment to our country and where he rightly told world leaders that they cannot do without Nigeria, he went to the UAE and not only ensured that the visa ban on Nigerians was lifted but also ensured a resolution to the trapped Emirati funds at Central Bank and the issue of flight routes and air travel between our two countries. All these achievements in a matter of a few days.
“These are things that the previous administration could not achieve in years of protracted and oftentimes acrimonious negotiations.”
“I am truly proud of our President and, under his watch, Nigeria is clearly on the rise again.
The former chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, now a member of the All Progressives Congress, APC, said “Not only has he restored our confidence and hope but he has also proved to the world that Great Nigeria, the Giant of Africa, has come alive again. Glory be to God.”
Recall that it was under the administration of former President Buhari that the United Arab Emirates, UAE, had a diplomatic row with Nigeria which resulted in the imposition of visa ban on Nigerians and suspension of flights to the west African nation.
The situation started in October 2022.
However, the presidency announced on Monday that Tinubu and the President of the United Arab Emirates, Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, in Abu Dhabi, finalized an agreement, which has resulted in the immediate cessation of the visa ban placed on Nigerian travellers.
