Why Many Nigerians Are Angry Over Tinubu’s Visit To King Charles

Nigerians have expressed dissatisfaction over President Bola Tinubu’s visit to King Charles III at Buckingham Palace, United Kingdom, on Wednesday.

According to the Special Assistant to President Tinubu on Social Media, Dada Olusegun, who disclosed this on his official X account on Thursday, the aim of Tinubu’s visit to King Charles was to discuss ongoing diplomatic ties and partnership between Nigeria and the United Kingdom.

He wrote, “President Bola Tinubu visited His Majesty, King Charles, at Buckingham Palace. The significant meeting highlighted the ongoing diplomatic ties and partnership between Nigeria and the United Kingdom.”

“The United Kingdom Royal Family also confirmed the visit, posting a photograph of the two leaders at Buckingham Palace with the caption, “🇳🇬 Yesterday, the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria visited His Majesty at Buckingham Palace.”

However, a large section of Nigerians did not seem pleased with the visit, given the recent challenges of ravaging floods, economic hardship, and incessant insecurity in the country. 

Some Nigerians were of the opinion that visiting victims of the recent flood outbreak in Borno State should have been of more priority.

 @dwellingdews said, “People are drowning, trying to kpai themselves but he’s here shaking hands with someone in a stable country. He should do better cos it’s not by dragging power.”

Yakub Tijani wrote, “The president needs to wear a human face. The standard of living of Nigerians are deteriorating everyday due to the uncontrolled rise in the prices of goods and services. He can subsidize fuel directly with Dangote for transparency in order to significantly bring down fuel prices.”

@stanleychik said, “So Tinubu can’t visit the flood victims in Maiduguri, 120 people slaughtered in the north last week, this is too bad,@DOlusegun @aonanuga1956 is the president really running this govt the way it supposed, if people complain he sends rice or gets them arrested.”

@orjichima3 asked, “Does this have any positive impact on the economy or just going to greet an old friend?

“The country you’re managing is crying out blood, hunger, etc.. instead of u to stay back and tackle it, u are going to shake hands with people who take their citizens seriously.”
