Kingsley Moghalu, the Presidential candidate of the Young Progressives Party, has condemned President Muhammadu Buhari\u2019s absence at the recently held G7 Summit in France.<\/p>\n

According to Moghalu, it is unfortunate that president of South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa and Paul Kagame of Rwanda were invited but the president of Africa\u2019s supposedly largest economy wasn\u2019t invited.<\/p>\n

Moghalu said, \u201cIt\u2019s sad that @NGRPresident of Africa\u2019s supposedly largest economy wasn\u2019t invited to the G7 summit in France but Paul Kagame of Rwanda and Cyril Ramaphosa of South Africa were.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur country should be at the table, not on the menu. Obasanjo, like him or not, was at the table.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe point is that South Africa is virtually always at the table, it is a member of the G20, but Nigeria is not. Why?<\/p>\n

\u201cThat Nigeria\u2019s standing in the world has declined is a fact that has practical implications for us here at home, and it is also a reflection of our domestic weakness.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my view, Nigeria has been in decline for the past decade essentially. It\u2019s just gotten so worse in recent years. So, I am not ascribing this collective reality only to one leader or government. \u201d<\/p>\n

South is a member of the G20 world economies. Nigeria is not. Why? That Nigeria\u2019s standing in the world has declined over the past decade is incontestable, with practical implications for us here at home, and is also a reflection of our domestic weakness.<\/p>\n

Now, Ghana is now eating our cake in West Africa. It\u2019s getting more foreign investment than Nigeria. Obama visited there but not us. We should face the fact of our decline and what to do about it, instead of puerile not-picking arguments!<\/p>\n
