There’s a serious debate about the reported embarrassment of Bola Ahmed Tinubu in South Africa during the swearing in ceremony of Cyril Ramaphosa who was Re-elected as South Africa’s President.
APC media team are however doing everything possible to debunk the news or do a damage control.

“It’s safe to say that Bola Tinubu no get international clout, & there is no shame in that. Neglecting your foreign policy let others dictate your position, & your reputation.
All the excuses for his poor showing abroad are becoming too embarrassing. The APC is a total embarrassment.
“Front row was reserved for South African royals.” Yen Yen Yen. No shame at all.
By dumping Asiwaju in second row, South Africa passed a subliminal but conscious message. SA won’t dump a Joe Biden, Macron, Xi, Putin or Modi in second row, no matter the royalty. These things? They matter!
The APC want sheep, the Obidients have a mind of our own. I don’t expect any Zombie to understand these complexities, it’s above their pay grade. The Agbados operate at the most basic of intuitiveness. It serves them better.
Not thinking about anything other than bigotry, ensures their optimum jonzing. Anything more than that, can send them to a mental institution.
But a serious observer will equally see what I’ve seen. African countries don’t take Nigeria seriously anymore. South Africa has taken the stage. SA usurped Nigeria since from 2016. But bigots will always argue.

In international politics, optics is everything. Sitting arrangement is the function of perception. You are accorded preferential or indifferent treatment strictly on how others perceive your country.
Rich & powerful nations sit at the front. Every sitting arrangement is a function of your economy, passport, & military power.
Stop making excuses for Asiwaju. OBJ did it, he didn’t have two heads, did he? When you keep making excuses for the obvious lack of charisma on Asiwaju’s part, you belittle my country Nigeria.
I say these things because they matter. People will address you the way they perceive you. Asiwaju should step up his game.
Abandoning Nigeria’s Image abroad have dire consequences. Nigeria needs to be seen abroad. We must begin to steal every show. That’s what serious nations do. Nigeria must be conspicuous in the room. We must become the talking point in Africa once more.
The more he continues to shy away, & hide behind the curtains, the more Nigeria is restricted to the backseat. The more your passport is disrespected as well. FIX UP!!
