US Senator Ted Cruz Tenders Apology To Nigerians For His Offensive Statement




Oct. 21st, we reported how  US Republican Senator Ted Cruz in a rally insinuated that Nigerian email scammers have been hired to run the Obama care website due to the glitches on the site. The comment didn't sit down well with Nigerians as we thought the comment was offensive. After several measures where applied by Nigerians in Houston Senator Ted apologized in statement. Read Full Statement Below:




It’s unfortunate that we’re living in a time where just about every joke can be misconstrued to cause offense to someone.

To the good people of Nigeria - a beautiful nation where my wife lived briefly as the child of missionaries - no offense was intended.

I am fully appreciative of the range of mutual economic and security interests that make Nigeria an important friend to the United States.

And even to those few unscrupulous email scammers who were the subject of the joke, I apologize to you for the unfair comparison to the utterly dysfunctional Obamacare website.
