Former minister of aviation,
Femi Fani-Kayode, has said
that if he were president of
Nigeria, no South African
company would feel safe at
this time.
Mr Fani-Kayode said this on
Twitter on Tuesday in reaction
to xenophobic attacks on
Nigerians in South Africa,
Igbere TV reports.
He said: “Look at what Buhari
has reduced us to! The South
Africans will pay dearly for this
affront! If I were President of
Nigeria no South African or
South African company would
feel safe in Nigeria at this
point. Buhari will not be there
forever and we have long
memories! They WILL pay!”.
The recent attacks began last
week after a taxi driver was
murdered by an alleged drug
dealer in Pretoria.
Speculations that the alleged
killer was a Nigerian sparked
protest, looting and burning of
business centres owned by
foreigners.
Three Nigerians were said to
have been killed in the process
with scores injured.
Minister of Foreign Affairs,
Geoffrey Onyeama, will meet
the South African High
Commissioner to Nigeria, Bobby
Moroe, on Tuesday over the
attacks.
