Diversity and Inclusion Minister Ahmed Hussen attended inauguration of President Bola Tinubu, whose party has ruled Nigeria since 2015
Nigeria's President Bola Ahmed Tinubu speaks after taking an oath of office at a ceremony in Abuja, Nigeria, on Monday.OTTAWA — A year after arguing Nigeria’s ruling party is responsible for terrorist acts, the Trudeau government has sent a cabinet minister to celebrate the swearing-in of its new president.
That phrasing appears in a December 2022 immigration decision in which the adjudicator rejected Ottawa’s attempt to have an unnamed man deported to Nigeria. The adjudicator noted that Canada pointed to statements from APC politicians as inciting violence that appeared to instead be strident opinion, while one person Canada cited is a member of an entirely different party.
Hussen’s visit comes as the Trudeau government continually delays its plan for Africa, which has been downgraded from a strategy similar to the one the government launched last fall for the Indo-Pacific.
