The Chairman, Nigeria in Diaspora Commission, Abike Dabiri-Erewa has slammed some Nigerians on social media who engaged her by asking about the commissionโs position to evacuate stranded Nigerians in war-ravaged Sudan.
In response to the complaints posed at her, Dabiri-Erewa via the micro blogging platform, Twitter described some of her critics as unprogressive, retrogressive โObidientโ labouring in vain after they scolded her not โto call God to do what she has been given powers to do.โ
The Diaspora Commission Chairman while reacting to complaints of Nigerians on Twitter and other social media platforms over government inaction to evacuate stranded Nigerians in war-torn Sudan, said that other countries citing United Kingdom had not evacuated their over 3000 nationals.
She wrote: โBritish diplomats! What about the over 3000 British citizens resident there? Complaining! We will not rescue only our diplomats and families and leave our thousands of students.
โAll will be back. Safely! By Godโs grace.โย
However, a citizen, @Prince_Bamidele responded, โStop saying by Godโs grace, Shey nah Godโs grace Buhari employ? Always full of excuses, Late comers.โ
Reacting to the statement, she wrote: โMaybe that is why you have remained stagnant and un progressive , retrogressively โdisobedient,โ and labouring in vain because all you ve ever laid your hands on is by the grace of the devil you worship . Mr 83 followers.โ
Following her outburst, Nigerians described her uncouthness as probably the reason why the part of โour foreign relations she handles is in shambles.โ
