We Erred, Presidency Disclaims Tinubu Being First African Leader To Ring NASDAQ Bell

Nigeria’s Presidency has apologized for referring to President Bola Tinubu as the first African leader to ring the bell at NASDAQ on Wednesday, September 20 in New York.

“This error is sincerely regretted,” an unsigned statement today, September 22, from the State House Media and Publicity said.
The terse statement read: “We inadvertently referred to President Bola Tinubu as the first African leader to ring the bell at NASDAQ on Wednesday in New York, based on the information provided by a third-party event organiser.
“We have since found out that this information was/is incorrect as a former African leader has indeed had the privilege.
“This error is sincerely regretted.”
