With the crisis escalating, Muhammadu Buhari, the president-

elect, commended President Goodluck Jonathan over the steps

taken by his government to protect Nigerians from the violence in

South Africa.

In a statement dating back to April 16, Thursday, Buhari said that

Nigeria’s Head of Mission in Pretoria had taken the right steps by

advising the Nigerian community in South Africa to close their

shops, stay home and keep out of trouble, Premium Times reports.

“We equally understand that the South African government is

making efforts to bring an end to this unfortunate situation. In the

meantime, Nigerians in South Africa should abide by the words of

caution extended them by their government representative in

Pretoria.”

Regarding the effort by the Federal Government, the APC politician

said:

“I am happy to see that the Nigerian government is very well aware

of its responsibilities to its citizens in South Africa.”

Aggression towards the immigrants in South Africa was apparently

triggered by King Goodwill Zwelithini who last month said that

foreigners must pack up and leave the country.

Numerous African countries have started evacuating their

nationals. The main reason for this year’s violence is believed to

root in the poor economic state and the high level of youth

unemployment in South Africa.
