Bolaji Abdullahi, the national publicity secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), says the Bola Tinubu administration is desperate for positive headlines after Japan denied creating a special visa category for Nigerians.
Abdullahi was reacting to the Japanese government’s
clarification that it is not creating a special visa category for Nigerians.
“On the other hand, there are no plans to take measures to
promote the acceptance of immigrants or issue special visas for residents of
African countries, and the series of reports and announcements concerning such
measures are not true,” the Japanese foreign ministry said in a statement on
Monday.
Abiodun Oladunjoye, director of information at the State
House, had said in a statement that Japanese authorities would introduce “a
special visa category for highly skilled, innovative, and talented young
Nigerians who want to move to Kisarazu to live and work”.
The statement dated August 22 also claimed that “artisans
and other blue-collar workers from Nigeria who are ready to upskill will
benefit from the special dispensation visa to work in Japan”.
Abdullahi, a former minister of sports, said the denial by
Japanese authorities was an indictment of the federal government.
“At #TICAD9, the APC Federal Government claimed that the
Japanese authorities had agreed to issue “special visa categories” to
Nigerians,” he wrote on X.
“This denial by the Japanese authorities shows that the
Tinubu/APC government have become so desperate for positive headlines that they
would not mind spreading #FakeNews.
“The truth is, with this government, we don’t know what to
believe anymore. This embarrassment just has to stop.”
