Nigerian students warn South African President to Stay Away From Buhari's Inauguration

Posted by Nicholas on Tue 26th May, 2015 - tori.ng

The National Association of Nigerian Students, has advised the President of South Africa, Jacob Zuma, to stay away from Nigeria during the inauguration ceremony of Buhari

After the indiscriminate killings of foreigners and Nigerians in South Africa, the National Association of Nigerian students, NANS has warned South Africa President, Jacob Zuma not to come to Nigeria for the Inauguration of President-Elect, Muhammadu Buhari.

The reason is becaus eof what they described as his poor handling of the xenophobic attacks on some Africans including Nigerians in his country in April.

According to the statement released by the body, the failure of the South African President to apologize to Nigerians after the attacks is distasteful. The students expressed their anger in a statement signed by its President, Tijani Usman.

The statement in part reads:

“We wish to advise the South African President (Jacob Zuma) to rather stay at home and address burning issues, rather than embarking on a visit that is the least desirable. The South African President’s failure to apologise to Nigeria for the losses the country and our citizens incurred during the xenophobic attacks on foreigners leaves a bitter taste in the mouth. There is therefore, no point felicitating with a people who clearly do not matter much to you. President Zuma’s visit will only amount to pretence.”
