  • Title: UNITED NATIONS: NIGERIAN FOREIGN MINISTER GARBA DEFENDS UGANDAN PRESIDENT IDI AMIN AFTER CRITICISM BY U.S. AMBASSADOR.
  • Date: 9th October 1975
  • Summary: 1. SV United Nations and Nigerian Foreign Minister seated at table. 0.08 2. CU Mr. Garba speaks. 2.03 TRANSCRIPT: SEQ. 2: GARBA: "President Amin was speaking both as Chairman of the OAU and President of Uganda, and I think he decided to speak in both capacities. The first part of the speech (indistinct) of the OAU, I cannot say anything about it. I think it was OK. I do not think it is my place, one or the other to comment." REPORTER: "Without commenting, do you feel the debate that has gone on about it has destroyed in any way the special session of the U.N.?" GARBA: "The dialogue between two countries cannot directly affect the workings of the organisation. I believe the Ugandan Ambassador has the duty to protect the President of his country if he feels he has been dealt with unfairly in any way. On the other hand, I feel that the United States representative presented the antics...in the way he went about it."
