The Chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), Abike Dabiri-Erewa, said Turkish officials found it silling that President Bola Tinubu’s brief stumble during his official visit to the country made news.
Dabiri-Erewa 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 about President Tinubu’ 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, Ms 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”
