Stop going overseas to say bad things about Nigeria – Presidency cautions Nigerians

The Presidency has warned Nigerians to desist from disparaging Nigeria outside the shores of the country.

The call was contained a statement by Senior Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu on Wednesday.

Shehu who objected to calls for foreign intervention in Nigeria’s affairs, made reference to Katsina State Governor Aminu Masari’s recent description of the calls on “foreign powers to meddle in the internal affairs of Nigeria” as the “highest level of unpatriotism.’’

He cautioned Nigerians to be good ambassadors of Nigeria if they want foreigners to think positively about the country.

The statement read; ’’There’s nothing to gain by disparaging your country overseas. Every citizen must respect their nation. Those countries they go to and say bad things about Nigeria, their citizens dare not do that.

‘’When they go outside, they speak well of their nation. They are ambassadors of their own country. They are salesmen for their nations. Why do we go out and tell the worst stories of our own country?

‘’I think that Nigerians have to change. If we don’t love this country and if we don’t promote it, nobody will do it for us. This is very clear from the message Governor (Aminu) Masari (of Katsina State) issued a few days ago.’’
