Abike Dabiri-Erewa has stated that Turkish authorities were surprised to find out that President Bola Tinubu’s stumble during his official visit to the country made news.
The Chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) stated this on Wednesday, January 28, while reacting to a post on X by a user, Oguntoye Opeyemi, also known as Equityoyo, who criticised the level of attention Nigerian media gave to the incident.
The X user had stated that no media outlet in Turkey reported on President Tinubu’s fall, but the same was widely reported here in Nigeria.
‘’Not a single Turkish TV station reported the President’s accidental slip because it’s a non-issue!
“But Naija TV and National newspaper ‘’
Reacting to the post, Dabiri-Erewa said
‘’Exactly. On ground here in Ankara, their officials were shocked to learn that it was an issue in Nigerrian media / blogs. One of them described it as “ silly and mischievous, and reiterated how their country was excited about the incredible success of the visit by @officialABAT which is all over their media here”
