Tinubu’s Speech At UNGA, The Best By Any African Leader– Agbakoba
A legal luminary and former President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Chief Olisa Agbakoba (SAN), has disclosed that no African leader has spoken for the continent the way President Bola Tinubu did at the ongoing United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York, United States.
It is instructive to note that Tinubu had on Wednesday, informed world leaders at the 78th session of UNGA, that unfair treatment and foreign exploitation have stunted Africa’s progress, saying there is need for paradigm shift to correct the injustice.
Speaking in a post on his verified X handle (formerly known as Twitter) Agbakoba said the speech was a “well-received statement” with which President Tinubu asserted that “Africans are not beggars but equal partners”.
“A well-received statement at UNGA!,”
The former NBA boss wrote: “Never in the history of UNGA has an African President spoken for the entire African continent, asserting that we are not beggars but equal partners with the geopolitical blocs of the world.
“Not since Kwame Nkrumah and his vision for a pan-African agenda for development has any African leader delivered a speech on behalf of the 54 nations of Africa.”
According to Agbakoba, Africa will have itself to blame if it failed to act on Tinubu’s significant policy speech.
“Let all of us in Africa rally our collective energies and declare to the world that we are awake and not beggars but partners,” Agbakoba added.
