Nigeria cannot pick up our Venezuelan deported, says Yusuf Tuggar

Nigeria’s Foreign Minister states that the country will not bow pressure from Trump administration to accept Venezuelan deported from the United States after visa curbs and tariff threats.

Yusuf is chewy -Ad spoiled TV private channels The fact that Nigeria had “enough problems” of its own and did not accept foreign prisoners from the United States.

“We already have more than 230 million people,” the minister said.

“You will be the same person who will cast us up when we agree with the acceptance of Venezuelan prisoners to Nigeria,” he added.

“Nigeria will be unjust to accept 300 Venezuelan deported,” he said, believing that the recent visa restrained in Nigerian travelers by the United States were not “back” but pressure tactics.

Now there will be one -time and valid only three months.

“You also have to keep in mind that the US has significant pressure on African countries to accept Venezuelans who will be deported from the United States, some straight from prison,” he added.

“Such a country, like Nigeria, will accept Venezuelers’ prisoners in Nigeria. We have enough problems, we cannot accept Venezuelan deported to Nigeria for crying loudly,” he said.

Instead, he said that Nigeria was looking for “dealing with the United States” because the country “owns” a lot of gas, critical minerals and rare lands needed by US technology companies.

When asked further what Nigeria was doing to reach a diplomatic decision, the minister stated that the country was discussing with the US and deciding the differences.

Mr. Tuggar’s requirement comes after Wall Street Journal magazine Quotes internal documents and sources, as they say that Trump’s administration has pushed the leaders Liberia, Senegal, Mauritania, Gabon and Guinea-Bisov to accept migrants deported by the United States whose countries refuse them or slowly return them back.

Trump also hinted at this during a meeting with five leaders on Wednesday.

“I hope that we will be able to reduce high-visa people, as well as progress in safe, third countries,” he said during the entrance comments.

Liberia’s Foreign Minister refused to receive such communication from Washington.
