Femi Fani-Kayode, a former minister of aviation, asserted that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu had accomplished in under 100 days what the Muhammadu Buhari administration had failed to do for many years.
The United Arab Emirates, UAE, and Nigeria engaged in a diplomatic dispute while former President Buhari was in office, which led to the imposition of a visa restriction on Nigerians and the suspension of flights to the west African country.
Since October 2022, everything have stayed the same.
Former PDP head Fani-Kayode, who is now a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), stated that the current administration has accomplished in a matter of days what the previous administration was unable to do for a number of years.
Recently, our President has returned Nigeria to her rightful place at the centre of international affairs.
“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.
“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.â€
