Prominent Nigerians including actress Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Lamido Sanusi, among others across Africa, have condemned the death of George Floyd, a black American killed by police brutality in the United States., the coalition of African singers, artists, academics, journalists, civil society, and business leaders, touched by the tragic killing of Floyd issued a solidarity statement condemning the attack.
The statement read, “In these strange moments of uncertainty and fear, the news from America has broken our hearts. We cannot remain silent! We cannot remain deaf and blind to the plight of our African-American brothers and sisters. We are shocked by the brutal murder of George Floyd by police officers.
“Africans on the continent and around the world are grateful to African Americans and black leaders, writers, and thinkers for sharing with our elders the emancipatory idea of Pan-Africanism and for being connected with our struggles against colonialism and, of course, apartheid. “We are a 1.3 billion strong nation stretched out over a whole continent, and with you in the African Diaspora, we are millions more. Together we can build the global African nation. It will be our nation, and we will name squares and schools after the countless other heroines and heroes of African descent. In memory of our common ancestry, the new Africa will be conceived as our common home.
