Claims that South African President Cyril Ramaphosa ignored Nigerian President Bola Tinubu during his second-term inauguration ceremony on Wednesday in Johannesburg have been refuted by the presidency.
The Special Advisor on Information and Strategy to President Tinubu, Bayo Onanuga, refuted the allegations by releasing photos of Ramaphosa and Tinubu shaking hands at the South African event.
Recall that on Tuesday, President Tinubu left Nigeria for South Africa to attend President Ramaphosa’s inauguration for a second term. However, shortly after the event, which took place on Wednesday, some opposition figures claimed on social media that the Nigerian leader was disregarded, shamed, and kept silent.
