Geoffrey Onyeama, Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, has made the position of the Federal Government known as regards the United Kingdom’ parliament deliberation on the outcome of the EndSARS Protest .

The minister, while addressing reporters on Wednesday in Abuja, the nation’s capital, stated that while debates on all matters were allowed, the UK parliament does not speak for the British government.

“On the issue of the UK parliament, yes, we have reached out to the UK government on this question.

“The meeting that took place was of parliamentarians, they don’t speak for the UK government and the UK government which acts for the United Kingdom has also heard the side of the (Nigerian) government regarding everything that happened,” Onyeama said.

He added, “So we are in touch with them and engaging with them but, of course, as in any democracy, the members of parliament are able to also air their views but what is important is that a balanced picture is made available to them all before they take any decision.”
