Minister of Foreign Affairs Geoffrey Onyeama has debunked the report making the rounds that Nigeria was ready to impose sanctions on Russia for Invading Ukraine.
Onyeama, in a statement by his media aide, Sarah Sanda, said he was misquoted, saying that his comment was that Nigeria would act within the framework of the United Nations (UN).
The statement reads in part: “We would act in the framework of the UN, and if there was a UN Resolution, we would be obliged, but there would not be because Russia has a veto power.”
