Following
the hate-fueled xenophobic attacks in South Africa targeted at
foreigners, the House of Reps has reacted to the development.
The House of Representatives
Nigeria’s House of Representatives on Tuesday passed a resolution
condemning the xenophobic attacks against Nigerians in South Africa,
Premium Times reports.
The lawmakers also urged the President Muhammadu Buhari
administration to recall the country’s ambassador to South Africa ahead
of a major anti-Nigerians rally planned for Friday.
The resolution followed a motion by Rita Orji, a PDP member from
Lagos State, who decried how Nigerians are being unjustly targeted in
that country.
Another lawmaker, Sergius Ogun, PDP-Edo State, said the poor
treatment being meted to Nigerians was particularly troubling giving the
role Nigeria played in ending the South African Apartheid regime.
“I want us as a House to condemn it and I also want our government to take a stand on it.
“How can we say that we are the giant of Africa when in other African countries, our citizens are being killed?” he said.
In her contribution, Nnenna Elendu-Ukeje, PDP-Abia State, said
Nigeria should take extra-diplomatic measures in dealing with the latest
deadly assaults because the “the attacks on Nigerians in SA have persisted” despite all diplomatic solutions explored by the government.
Minority Leader, Leo Ogor, said it was time for all stakeholders to “call a spade a spade."
“This isn’t the first time this is happening. South Africans
continue to kill Nigerians for no justifiable reason and this is
completely unacceptable,” Mr. Ogor, PDP-Delta State, said. He urged
the South African government to take up its responsibility of securing
live and properties within its borders.
No fewer than 20 Nigerians were killed in xenophobic attacks in South Africa last year.
The South African government has also condemned the attacks, saying
it will introduce teaching of history in schools to help South Africans
understand the roles Nigeria and other African countries played during
the apartheid struggle.
