LAGOS, Nigeria – Former Minister of Aviation, Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode has criticised President Muhammadu Buhari for sending envoy to South Africa, following the resurgence of xenophobic attacks against Nigerians which resulted in killings, looting and destruction of the means of livelihood of Nigerians.
So far, over 120 Nigerians have been killed in South Africa. Fani-Kayode believes that the best way to react to continued attacks on Nigerians in South Africa is for the Nigerian government to nationalize all South African companies in Nigeria.
“If they do not stop after that then we should declare war”, he said. The former minister said the situation would have been different if those ruling Nigeria at present were Aguiyi-Ironsi, Murtala Mohammed, Sani Abaja, OBJ or GEJ.
“Had it been Aguiyi-Ironsi, Murtala Mohammed, Sani Abacha, OBJ, IBB or GEJ there is NO way Nigerians will be slaughtered in South Africa without a real threat of war”, he said, adding that President Buhari has proved himself to be a weak leader,a chicken-hearted scarecrow,a toothless bulldog and a bloody coward.
“The only way to make the South Africans appreciate that Nigerians cannot be killed like chickens is not by sending an envoy but by breaking off diplomatic relations and nationalising all SouthAfrican companies in Nigeria.If they do not stop after that then we should declare war.
“South Africa kills Nigerians. Czech Rep. pays Nigerians money to leave and never come back. Angola says it does not want Nigerians. Congo storms and takes over the Nigerian Embassy. Libya buys and sells Nigerians. Ghana persecutes and humiliates Nigerians”, he added.
In his response to the current uproar, former military Head of State, General Ibrahim Babangida condemned the attacks.
IBB recalled how Nigeria’s contribution for anti-appartheid movement was second to none.
Ibrahim B. Babangida@General_Ibbro “I remember vividly how Nigeria was one of the foremost supporters of the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa; by then, our contributions in her trying times was second to none. The killings by many African Nationals in South Africa is highly condemnable”, he said.
