Abike Dabiri Apologises as Nigerians Blast Her over Comment (Details)

Senior Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora Abike Dabiri on Sunday drew the anger of Nigerians on social media following her reply to a Twitter user.

A Twitter user, Onuoha David, had mentioned Abike Dabiri and two other handles thus: “No stable power, High insecurity, Low wages, poor infrastructures etc what am I coming home for?”

But who is asking you to come? https://t.co/rXtFTqMSHi

Responding, the former member of the House of Representatives, tweeted back “But who is asking you to come?”

The reply has attracted hundreds of harsh responses, with many declaring the one-time broadcaster unfit for the position she was recently appointed.

Although Dabiri in a series of tweets tried to apologise, her apologies have barely gone down well with the crowd who are asking for the head of the Presidential aide.
