A statement from the office of the vice president stated that Tinubu will now be represented by the minister of foreign affairs, Ambassador Yusuf Maitama Tuggar, at the event.
This comes hours after the former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, raised concerns about the president and vice president’s absence from the presidential villa.
According to Atiku, Nigeria is in a critical condition, and the president and vice president’s absence has left the nation in turmoil.
He asked the question of who is in charge of the country with the president absent and queried if it was right to say that the nation is currently being autopiloted.
However, a statement from the vice president’s office said Shettima was unable to make the trip because of a technical fault in his aircraft and that the trip was cancelled based on the advice of the presidential air fleet.
The statement, which was signed by Stanley Nkwocha, Shettima’s media aide, disclosed that the vice president would carry on with other national functions in Nigeria.
The event, which was taking place at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center, would bring business and political leaders from around the world. It would feature
high-level dialogues, seasons of networking, and networking sessions.
