The African Democratic Congress has criticised the Federal Government for announcing that Japan would grant Nigerians a new “special visa category,” following a denial by Japanese authorities.

ADC National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, in a post on X (Formerly Twitter) on Monday, accused the All Progressives Congress-led government of spreading false information for political gain.

“At #TICAD9, the APC Federal Government claimed that the Japanese authorities had agreed to issue ‘special visa categories’ to Nigerians.

“This denial by the Japanese authorities shows that the Tinubu/APC government have become so desperate for positive headlines that they would not mind spreading #FakeNews”, he said.

The spokesperson further said the disclaimer was a national embarrassment that risked eroding public trust in government communications.

“The truth is, with this government, we don’t know what to believe anymore. This embarrassment just has to stop,” Abdullahi wrote. Punch
