Dear Senator,
RE: NIGERIAN EMAIL SCAMMERS AND OBAMACARE
You are no
doubt aware of the reaction of Nigerians and friends of Nigeria to a statement
credited to your good self on the above. Our immediate reaction at the Embassy
is to assume that you were wrongly quoted and that the statement would be
denied.
We are however surprised that this has not happened. We have no
choice than to assume that the statement was deliberately made by you. For a
start we are shocked that a high profile Senator of a country which is at the
forefront in building a peaceful and stable world in which nations and peoples
treat each other with mutual respect could be engaged in an act which offends
the sensitivities of an important component of his
constituency.
Distinguished Senator I am sure you are sufficiently
familiar with the constructive contributions which Nigerians have made to
economic, social and political lives of Texas especially in the Houston area.
Every country has its own share of law breakers.To use the activities of few as
an opportunity to cast aspersions on the integrity of a country and its people
is not only unfair but also excessively offensive.READ

You yourself made the point that the so-called email scammers
have disappeared from the scene. But it is not because they were recruited to
work on Obamacare. It is because of the successful efforts of our government
working through the Embassy and the international law enforcing agents to curb
the activities of these few law breakers.
It is not the practice of any
Nigerian diplomatic mission to interfere in the domestic affairs of our host
countries. But we will not sit back, fold our arms while a politician assaults
the integrity of our country and people in the process of appeasing the base
instincts of a few misguided elements in his constituency. Distinguished Senator
the least we can say is that Nigerians feel offended by you. They demand an
apology.
