The Chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has broken her silence over the accusations of being biased following her silence on a controversial audio clip circulating among Nigerians, particularly from the South-West region.
TheNewsGuru.com(TNG) reports that chairman/CEO of NIDCOM, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, in a prompt manner, revealed the identity of a Nigerian woman, Amaka Patience Sunnberger, who was threatening violence against Nigerians, specifically targeting those of Yoruba, Edo descent in Canada.
The NIDCOM boss, however, stayed quiet over a clip of Yoruba descent calling for a united front against the Igbo community, alleging that they are responsible for tarnishing Nigeria’s reputation with fraud and other harmful activities.
Reacting, netizens accused Dabiri-Erewa of addressing Sunnberger’s threats promptly but decided to stay silent on the viral audio clip.
According to online users, the actions of NIDCOM boss underscore the growing tension and division within the Nigerian diaspora. This situation also raises significant questions about the pivotal role of NIDCOM in addressing intra-community conflicts.
Addressing the issue, Erewa, via her verified X.com account on Thursday, reiterated the unwavering commitment of NIDCOM to address diaspora issues, regardless of any ethnic connotations.
Her post reads; “As long as i am chair @nidcom_gov and diaspora issues are reported to us we will deal with it. As I speak, Nigerians in Canada have taken the matter up with the relevant authorities.”
