President Muhammadu Buhari has warned Nigerians to stop trying to make asylum claims in Britain, saying that their reputation for criminality has made it hard for them to be “accepted” abroad.
Buhari added that those who had joined the migrant exodus to Europe were doing so purely for selfish reasons and not because of insurgency in the country.
Buhari stated this during an exclusive interview with a U.K newspaper ”The telegraph UK”, adding that because of the number of Nigerians imprisoned for various offences in Britain, the country is now suffering an image problem.
This is coming as a shock to many who believe that despite the Federal Governments efforts at defeating the dredged Boko Haram insurgents, the group has continued to unleash guerrilla attacks, killing hundreds and displacing many, which have fueled the migration of Nigerians to Europe.
Buhari’s remarks may upset refugees’ rights groups, who claim that the vast majority of asylum cases lodged by Nigerians are genuine.
Reacting to this, a Federal legislator and Senator representing Bayelsa East senatorial district, Ben Murray-Bruce in his common sense series has taken a swipe at the president over what he called a desperate attempt at tagging all Nigerian as ‘criminals’.
“We have an image problem abroad and we are on our way to salvage that.
“Some Nigerians claim is that life is too difficult back home, but they have also made it difficult for Europeans and Americans to accept them because of the number of Nigerians in prisons all over the world accused of drug trafficking or human trafficking.
“I don’t think Nigerians have anybody to blame. They can remain at home, where their services are required to rebuild the country.” Buhari told The Telegraph
