Onyeama said Nigeria does not endorse the approach of aggression by Russia, calling on Russia to pull back.
According to him, “Peace and diplomacy to be prioritised by both sides. We support every effort being made to stop the aggr#ssion and Russian troops to return to Russia.”
This comes hours after Geoffrey Onyeama bolted after he was asked by a journalist about Nigeria’s position on Russia’s attack on Ukraine.
At an event after proceedings has come to an end, some media persons approached him for some questioning. A journalist asked him about the stance of Nigeria on the crisis in Ukraine but he didn’t respond to it and rather walked away laughing.
