Fayose Accuses Diaspora Nigerians of Hypocrisy Over UK Praise for Tinubu
Former Ekiti governor Isaac Fayose has criticized Nigerians living abroad for celebrating President Bola Tinubu during his UK visit. He called them “among the most selfish people in the world” for praising the president while choosing to live outside Nigeria. Fayose questioned why diaspora Nigerians would chant “on your mandate we shaa stand” instead of returning home to support Tinubu’s leadership in person. His remarks highlight ongoing debates about the diaspora’s role in national politics. Supporters argue that Nigerians abroad contribute through remittances and advocacy. Critics like Fayose say public displays of support abroad are disconnected from everyday realities in Nigeria.
