Olisa Agbakoba, former president of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), says no African leader has spoken for the continent the way President Bola Tinubu did at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York.

Tinubu had on Wednesday addressed world leaders at the 78th session of UNGA, during which he said unfair treatment and foreign exploitation have stunted Africa’s progress.

In a post on the X platform, Agbakoba said the speech was a “well-received statement” with which the president asserted that “Africans are not beggars but equal partners”.

“A well-received statement at UNGA!,” Agbakoba 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.”

He added that Africa would 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 said.

Absolutely true! Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is the Defender of the Black race.
May God continue to enrich him with more wisdom and favour everywhere he makes case for Nigeria and the Black race.

It's interesting to watch how agbakoba metamorphosed from a Peter Obi cheerleader to a Tinubu cheer leader.

Hehehe

Where was Atiku and his boy, Obi when Tinubu was fighting for Africa.

When Tinubu was fighting for democracy, where were they?

Tinubu keeps soaring higher by the day.

Who God has blessed, no enemies of progress can curse.

Even Agbakoba SAN, has started falling in love with Tinubu just like Datti Baba Ahmed and his family. They are now seeing clearly that Peter Obi is a scam that IPOB terrorists tried forcing down the throats of Nigerians but the resilience of this blessed country resisted and spat him out.
