Chairman/CEO, Nigerians in the Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has urged Nigerians at home and abroad to unite against the decision to classify Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern by President Donald Trump of US.
Making reference to statements issued by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Dabiri-Erewa appealed to Nigerians in the diaspora to remain calm, united and continue to defend and project the true image of the country.
In a statement issued by Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairman/CEO of the Commission, stated that Nigeria is a country built on tolerance, diversity and democratic values.
She said that the conspiracy theory depicting Nigeria as a country killing Christians in particular, is not the true reflection of what is going on in Nigeria.
“Nigeria remains steadfast in upholding democracy, religious freedom, and the protection of all citizens.
Dabiri-Erewa said President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has reaffirmed the nation’s unwavering commitment to religious liberty and mutual respect.
The NIDCOM Boss said that the Nigerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has also issued a strong statement on this matter, and urged all Nigerians in the diaspora to speak against the untrue perception.
“The perception is definitely not true. There are issues with evil terrorists in some parts of the country, no doubt. What President Trump needs to do is to support the efforts of our government in quashing them not to falsely denigrate our country”, she added.
