The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has blasted the Federal Government of Nigeria for claiming that Japan will offer special visas to Nigerians. The party described the claim as ‘misleading’ and ‘unsubstantiated’. According to the ADC, the Federal Government has a history of making false promises to Nigerians, and this claim is just another example. The party stated that the claim was made without any concrete evidence or confirmation from the Japanese government. The ADC also questioned the criteria for selecting Nigerians who would be eligible for the special visas. The party expressed concern that the claim may be a ploy to deceive Nigerians and distract them from the country’s pressing issues. The ADC urged the Federal Government to focus on addressing the country’s economic and security challenges rather than making false promises. The party also called on the Japanese government to clarify its position on the matter. The ADC’s criticism comes amid growing concerns about the Federal Government’s handling of foreign relations. Many Nigerians have expressed skepticism about the claim, citing the country’s poor human rights record and lack of transparency. The Japanese government has not made any official statement on the matter, fueling speculation and uncertainty. The ADC’s statement has sparked a heated debate on social media, with many Nigerians calling on the Federal Government to provide evidence to support its claim. Others have expressed disappointment and frustration with the government’s handling of the matter. The controversy has also raised questions about the Federal Government’s credibility and trustworthiness. The ADC has vowed to continue to hold the government accountable for its actions and promises. The party has also called on other political parties and civil society organizations to join in the criticism and demand transparency from the government. The Nigerian government has faced criticism in the past for its handling of foreign relations, including its response to the xenophobic attacks on Nigerians in South Africa. The government has also been accused of failing to protect the rights of Nigerian citizens abroad. The ADC’s criticism is the latest in a series of controversies surrounding the Federal Government’s foreign policy. The party has promised to continue to monitor the situation and provide updates to Nigerians. The controversy has also sparked a wider debate about the role of government in promoting the welfare and interests of its citizens. Many Nigerians are calling for greater transparency and accountability in government, particularly when it comes to foreign relations. The ADC’s statement has highlighted the need for the government to be more transparent and honest in its dealings with Nigerians. The party has also emphasized the importance of protecting the rights and interests of Nigerian citizens abroad. The controversy is likely to continue to dominate the headlines in the coming days, with many Nigerians eagerly awaiting a response from the Japanese government. The ADC has urged Nigerians to remain vigilant and demand answers from the government. The party has also promised to continue to fight for the rights and interests of Nigerians, both at home and abroad.
