Lawan decries xenophobic attack on Nigerians
The President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, has expressed serious concern over the worsening Xenophobic attacks on foreign nationals, including Nigerians, in South Africa.
He said that Nigeria would no longer tolerate hate crimes in any form against its citizens doing legitimate businesses in that country. “More disturbing, however, is that these attacks indicate the neglect of educating the younger generations on the sacrifices that Africans proudly made towards expunging the scourges of colonialism and apartheid from their continent.“The enormous contributions of Nigeria to this historic struggle is underscored by its recognition as a frontline state in the prolonged confrontation against the powerful racist regime that held generations of Southern Africans in bondage in subhuman conditions.
Mr Lawan said that the liberation of South Africa was rightly celebrated across the continent and the black world as the final emancipation of Africans from colonialism and apartheid.He said that it was thus an unacceptable irony that some South Africans would now choose other Africans in their country as the targets of mindless violent attacks over frustrations for which the innocent victims had no control.
