UK Migrant Deal: Nigeria Won’t Accept Foreign Deportees – Presidency by treesun(op): 12:59pm On Mar 20

The Presidency has clarified that there is no provision for Nigeria to accept foreign deportees under the newly signed migration agreement with the United Kingdom.

Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Temitope Ajayi, made the clarification amid what he described as widespread misinformation surrounding the agreement.

Ajayi explained that the deal strictly covers Nigerian citizens residing illegally in the UK.

“For clarity it is important to state that the agreement signed by the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo during the State Visit of President Tinubu on behalf of the government of Nigeria and Home Secretary, Rt Hon Shabana Mahmood on behalf of the UK government only relates to Nigerians who do not have legal status to live and remain in the UK.”

“Nigerian government is not taking back non-Nigerians. The UK government is not compelling Nigeria to take those who are not our citizens. This clarification becomes necessary because of those who have already revved up their misinformation machinery.

“The agreement guarantees that returnees who are citizens of Nigeria will be treated with dignity, rights retention under domestic law, and may re-enter in the future if they meet the applicable immigration requirements.

Ajayi also added an update from the Ministry of Interior, which states:

“It also provides detailed arrangements for the dignified return and reintegration of NIGERIANS who do not have the legal right to remain in the UK.

“This arrangement includes: the use of secured travel documentation, case-by-case identity verification, and safeguards for vulnerable individuals and potential victims of trafficking.

“This framework also sets out clear definitions, scope, and areas of cooperation, including; information sharing, capacity building, training, and joint research on migration management and border security.”

How do Bitter people always think upside down?. If Tinubu could look Trump in the eyes and rejected his proposal for Nigeria to accept deported US illegal immigrants, is it Steir Kermer that would now have Tinubu to receive foreign deportees from the UK?.

Some losers think Tinubu is like them who are always bootlicking Trump, Nentayahu and the West as their demigod.

Tinubu puts Nigeria first and has never cowered before any western leader. Tinubu has never been afraid and is never afraid of anybody.

The Jagaban himself!

The only people they should only deport people who overstayed their visas, pickpockets etc, they guys should not allow them to send us convicted serial killers, violent criminals and LGBTQ weirdos...whether they are Nigerians or not is irrelevant.

We already have enough problems of our own!

We are in political season, those spreading the rumors are the election losers. The successful outing of Mr President in the UK is a big blow to them.

God bless Nigeria, God bless President Tinubu.

Even the president who went there on the behalf of his Yoruba brothers in UK does not have the legal standing to do so .
That was why he is till today always been afraid to go to the US because he doesn't have the legal standing.
No wonder they quickly snapped the hungry goats BWALLA and OMOKRI

if you come by air illegally by air, you can be deported right away. If you come via other means or through other countries, it’s not that easy to deport to original country.
