Senior Special Adviser to the President on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has alerted the public to a fake account created on Twitter as the Nigerian Diaspora Commission (NDC).
The fake account identified on Twitter as @NDCNigeria was created barely 24 hours after the Senate confirmed Dabiri-Erewa as chairman/chief executive officer of Nigerian Diaspora Commission.
“Fake Nigeria Diaspora Commision twitter account in circulation @NDCNigeria is fake. The 32 followers should please discountenance it,” she wrote on Twitter on Friday.
She also posted a screenshot of the Twitter account and wrote: “Fake website! Big scam. Please discountenance. Reported to twitter.”
Dabiri-Erewa was a member of House of Representatives representing Ikorodu Federal Constituency in Lagos from 2003 to 2015.
She chaired the Committee on Diaspora Affairs during her time at the House of Representatives.
The 56-year-old also sponsored the bill seeking the establishment of the Nigerian Diaspora Commission.
