Nigeria Protests Zimbabwe's Accusation From Iyefu Adoba in Abuja Nigeria has sent a strong protest to the Zimbabwean Government over a newspaper publication accusing the country of acting as a conduit for Britain government, to bankroll Zimbabwe's Opposition Move-ment for Democratic Change. The Zimbabwean Sunday Mail had in its August 9 edition alleged that Nigeria was working in concert with Britain in financing the opposition movement in that country. But Foreign Affairs Minister, Ambassador Olu Adeniji expre-ssed the Federal Government's displeasure over the publication to the Acting High Commissioner of Zimbabwe in Nigeria, Mr. Gwenzi, when he paid him a visit in Abuja. The Minister described as ludicrous and false, the publication, which insinuated that Nigeria wa bankrolling the MDC to defeat President Robert Mugabe's government in next year's legislative elections. Adeniji said Nigeria least expected such "patently untrue publication in the press of a friendly country for which Nigeria has sacrificed so much." He charged the Acting High Commissioner to convey the Federal Government's displeasure and disappointment to his government over such periodic publications against Nigeria, which has become a pattern in Zimbabwe.
