Ted Cruz: Nigeria’s $9m PR Campaign Failed to Mask Security Failures
Senator Ted Cruz accuses Nigeria of using a $9 million PR campaign to deflect US concerns over its security crisis. He notes Nigeria hired a US lobbying firm after being designated a ‘country of particular concern’ for religious violence. Cruz introduced a bill to sanction officials he says enable mass murder under blasphemy and Sharia laws. The US House passed an amendment to suspend all aid to Nigeria until it takes effective steps to curb violence. Cruz argues this vote proves Nigeria’s PR efforts fell flat. I believe these image-laundering campaigns waste billions that could boost our economy. If our leaders were truly accountable, President Tinubu would already face impeachment for worsening insecurity.
