Former lawmaker and former senator representing Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani, has urged African leaders to focus on developing their own countries rather than seeking opportunities abroad.
Sani made the remarks on Wednesday in a post on his verified X account, following the United States government’s recent visa ban affecting several African nations.
Reacting, Sani said, “The first visa ban targeted those involved in acts of religious persecution, and many celebrated on social media. The second restriction, however, applies to everyone, with Nigeria among 23 countries affected.
“The latest list includes no Arab nations, but mostly Black African and Caribbean countries, even though safety and security were cited as the justification.
“The message is very clear: Third World migrants are not welcome. Stay at home, build your country, or deal with your own problems.”
According to an earlier report by Politics Nigeria, U.S. President Donald Trump signed a new proclamation further restricting entry for foreign nationals, adding 15 more countries to the list facing partial travel limitations.
