Nigeria can’t take Venezuelan deportees from US, says Yusuf Tuggar

Nigeria will not be pressure to pressure from the Trump administration to accept Venezuelan deportees or prisoners of the third countries of the United States, and Foreign Minister Youssef Tujjar has pledged, quoting the enemy of the American rapper in the 1990s.

He said in an interview with “Falfa Falaf with his own problems:” In the words of the famous public enemy of the American rap group … you will remember a line from Falaf Falaf – a member of the group – he said: “Falfa Falaf has its own problems. TV channels owned by private ownership.

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

His comments follow threats from Washington to restrict visas and tariffs on countries that do not correspond to their deportation policy.

“It would be unfair for Nigeria to accept 300 Marahi Venezuelani,” he said, indicating that the recent visa restrictions on Nigerian travelers by the United States were not “mutual” but the pressure tactic.

“It will be the same person who will throw us if we are sending to accept Venezuelan prisoners in Nigeria,” he added.

Earlier this week, the US State Department said as part of “global ideal recurrence”, almost all uninterrupted and irregular visas issued by the citizens of Nigeria, as well as those in Cameroon and Ethiopia, It will now be one entry and good for only three months.

During, President Donald Trump threatened the strike of countries that deal with the policies of the BRICS coalition, which contradicts American interests with an additional tariff of 10 %.. The BRICS group is designed from 11 countries to challenge the political and economic power of the West.

Last year, the list of members of the Brexes expanded outside the original group of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa to include Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Nigeria is not a complete member of Brex, but it became its ninth partner in January.

On Friday, the US embassy in Abuja denied that the Trump administration was involved in government squares on visas as a penalty for Nigeria that does not give in to its demands. He said that the real reason for the visa restrictions is “technical and security standards” It had to be respected.

Mr. Tuggar said that the threat of the high customs tariff was necessarily related to our participation in the Brexes.

“You have to keep in mind that the United States is escalating pressure on African countries to accept the Venezuelan to be deported from the United States, some of them directly from prison,” he added.

“It will be difficult for a country like Nigeria to accept the Venezuelan prisoners in Nigeria. We have enough problems, we cannot accept Venezuelan deportees to Nigeria, to scream loudly,” and concluded.

Instead, he said that Nigeria was looking to “make deals with the United States” because the country has a lot of gas, critical minerals and rare land that American technology companies need.

When he was also asked what Nigeria is doing to reach a diplomatic solution, the minister said that the country was discussing with the United States and solving differences.

The request of Mr. Tuggar comes after the Wall Street Journal Adapted from the documents and internal sources as saying that the Trump administration was paying the leaders From Liberia, Senegal, Mauritania, Gabon and Guinea-Biso to accept migrants who are deported by the United States, whose mother countries reject or slow to restore them.

The newspaper says that before the White House summit on Wednesday, the United States government had already sent requests asking all the five countries to accept migrants who were expelled from the United States – a strategy that the paper described as “aggressive overlap” between Trump’s deportation and foreign policy.

It is not clear whether any of the five West African countries accepted requests.

Liberia Foreign Minister Sarah Bizolo Neiante denied any such involvement with Washington, where she told the BBC program on Thursday:

“We have not discussed the departments or criminals coming to Liberia.”

However, Trump seemed to hint at the proposal during the meeting with the five leaders.

He said during the opening notes: “I hope we can reduce the high rates of people from people who have exceeded visas, as well as progress in the country’s safe agreements.”

Earlier this month, The United States deported eight people to South Sudan after a legal battle He saw them converting them into Djibouti for several weeks.

According to what was reported, at least four other African countries have been shattered by the United States to take the two deportees. They are Boys, Aswini, Libya and Rwanda.
