WALL APOLOGIZES FOR ‘NIGERIAN PRINCE’ CRACK IN TWEET

Former Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall has apologized after comparing the federal government’s plan to impose a price on carbon to a “Nigerian prince” email scam. Wall’s apology came after some Nigerian immigrants raised concerns about the post. David Ogunkanmi said he lost respect for the former premier after his “very, very disheartening” remark. Reached by email Monday, Wall replied: “I apologize to any that were offended by the tweet or felt it was at all a slight on any nationality.”
