Concerns were raised over the composition of the leaders from Nigeria's Middle Belt who met with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in Abuja on Friday.
The gathering, held in the capital, brought together a group of regional representatives to discuss issues of national importance. However, observers noted that the delegation’s makeup had sparked debate about whether it adequately reflected the diverse communities of the Middle Belt.
The Middle Belt, a central region of Nigeria, is home to a mosaic of ethnic and religious groups. Its leaders often play a key role in bridging local and national interests.
While the meeting’s agenda was not disclosed in detail, the composition of the delegation has become a point of discussion among political analysts and civil society groups who question the inclusivity of the representation.
President Tinubu’s administration has previously highlighted the importance of unity across Nigeria’s varied regions, making the scrutiny of this delegation particularly noteworthy.
