Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has stated that he feels perfectly safe in Nigeria, dismissing reports of insecurity in the country. Johnson made the remark during his recent visit, stressing that his experience in Nigeria has been positive and contrary to widespread narratives about safety concerns.
His comments come at a time when security challenges remain a pressing issue in several parts of Nigeria, including banditry, insurgency, and communal clashes. Johnson’s declaration has sparked mixed reactions, with some viewing it as a diplomatic gesture aimed at boosting Nigeria’s global image, while others argue it downplays the realities faced by citizens in affected regions.
The statement is expected to generate further debate on how Nigeria’s security situation is perceived internationally, particularly by foreign leaders and investors.
