He also urged President Muhammadu Buhari to boycott the World Economic Forum scheduled to commence in South Africa on September 4, insisting that the southern African country’s ruling “African National Congress must accept responsibility for the misdirected antagonism against poor African immigrants”.

He asked the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government to demand compensation for the Nigerian victims from the South African Government, but quickly added that the foreign government “is not likely to accede to the demand for compensation”. “In addition to the payment of adequate compensation to all the victims of the mindless attacks, the Government must teach South Africans about the immense contributions of the people of Cuba and a number of African countries to the struggle waged against apartheid and colonialism in the Southern African region.
