He said: “The Nigerian community in Northern Cyprus says no to misinformation. The misinformation about the Turkish of Northern Cyprus is uncalled for from the Chairman of Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Mrs Abike Dabiri.
“We are glad to tell the whole world that Northern Cyprus is safe.”
The coordinator insisted that Northern Cyprus is safer than any part of Nigeria
