Re. NIGERIANS IN SPAIN CONDEMNS SPATE OF INSECURITY IN NIGERIA

(LAMPTEY ORIAKHI, THE FACE OF AN IMPOSTOR)

Our attention has been drawn to a fallacious cloned publication attributed to the Daily Times of May 17 titled, “Nigerians In Spain Condemns Spate Of Insecurity In Nigeria” by an impostor named Lamptey Oriakhi, who claimed to be the President of the Federation of Nigerians in Spain (FNCS) an umbrella organization established to cater for the welfare of Nigerians resident in Spain. For reference, see the link below;  http://dailytimes.ng/nigerians-spain-condemns-spate-insecurity-nigeria/

We, the concerned Nigerians living in the Royal Kingdom of Spain, wish to use this medium and the opportunities offered herein to refute on behalf of the entire Nigeria nation in Spain that he, Lamptey Oriakhi, is a blatant liar, a self-seeking individual, power monger, a gold digger and desperado per excellence.

It will be recalled in that publication that he claimed that it was the elections held on April 23, 2016   in   Madrid,   the   Spanish   capital that brought him as the new president of the Federation. It is so treacherous to have made such outrageous claim knowing fully that he is not the president of the Federation and there were no elections held on that date.

For the avoidance of doubt and to put the record straight, the federation of Nigeria communities in Spain, held its bi-annual elections on November 28, 2015 in Barcelona. After the keenly contested elections, Prince Taiwo Adesegun emerged as the new president of the federation along with other members of his cabinet.  Lamptey Oriakhi, equally contested for the presidency, but was disqualified for forgery and falsification of documents.

In line with the constitution of the federation, the Nigeria embassy Spain was invited to witness the elections. The embassy in response to the invitation sent two high ranking officials as observers. After the well-attended elections, the winners were sworn in and they have been performing their official functions since then. It is so misleading by Lamptey to have made the purported publication asserting himself as the President of FNCS.

We wish to inform herein that Lamptey Oriakhi, is not the President of our revered federation. Therefore, the publication and the claims made therein are null and void to the extent of its inconsistency.

Yes, we agree that the insecurity in our nation has gone haywire, but no one has sent Lamptey Oriakhi, any errand on behalf of the Nigeria nation in Spain. Hence  any claim made  in  that  publication is  his  personal views  which he  is entitled to as a Nigerian. The president of the federation Prince Taiwo Adesegun, will in due course, make categorical statement on several issues bothering Nigerians in Spain including the thorny issue of insecurity in the Nation.

For further clarifications on this subject matter, we refer you or we ask that you send inquiries to the Nigeria embassy, Madrid. The names, addresses and telephone numbers of the executives of the federation are intact in their office and they have been in constant communications on issues

relating to the welfare of the Nigeria people resident in the Royal Kingdom of Spain.

Finally, we wish to use this opportunity to state that henceforth, it will do the purported Daily Times editorial board or any other news tabloid much good to seek clarifications on sensitive issues concerning Nigerians in Spain before publishing same to avoid libel or any legal confrontation with any organization, more-so, when the publication is sent by proxy and not by direct interview or by personal representation.

We are open to dialogue and robust communications on matters bothering on the Nigeria Nation at home and in diaspora.

Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria!

Long live the Nigeria community in Spain!!

Our patriotic regards,
