The
Shadow cabinet of Nigeria calls on the Nigerian government to hold the
South African government accountable for the xenophobic attacks on
Nigerians by some angry South Africans.
The
South African government's response to these malicious and inhumane
acts is currently unacceptable and not drastic enough to arrest the
violence being carried out on Nigerians in South Africa. We express our
displeasure even more because of the inadequate and unacceptable
explanation to the people of Nigeria and the government as well!
We
call on the Federal Government to make it very clear to the South
African government that those who have lost their properties must be
attended to with utmost urgency and also to prevent the irrational and
puerile acts from spreading further!
The
Shadow Cabinet task the FG to make it very clear to the South African
government that such unprovoked attacks would no longer be tolerated.
This is to ensure that this would be the last of such unholy attacks.
The
South African government must be reminded that during the rallies of
Nelson Mandela in his fight for freedom, he and his supporters boycotted
the buses of the white men and walked to Johannesburg. As such, boycott
and suspending of South African businesses in Nigeria would not be out
of place if such doltish attacks ever repeat themselves.
A
situation where someone watches on helplessly as what he/she has
tirelessly worked for goes up in flames calls for action, and we expect
the current administration to make it clear to the South Africans.
Thank you and God bless!

Eze Munachino Obinna and Oke Umurhohwo for Shadow Cabinet Nigeria
