Xenophobia TUC accuse SA govt, security agencies of targeting Nigerians

-

The Trade Union Congress (TUC) has accused the South African government and security agencies of plotting the attacks on Nigerians and other Africans, so as to take their properties.

According to Punch, the President of the TUC, Mr. Bala Kaigama also asked the Federal Government to recall the Nigerians High Commissioner to South Africa.
The Union also called on the Federal Government to put plans in place to start evacuating Nigerians from South Africa.
He said “From all indications, it appears there is a grand conspiracy by the government cum state security apparatus to continue to mindlessly waste lives and take over properties of innocent and harmless fellow Africans.

“We are calling on the Federal Government to put modalities in place to evacuate Nigerians in South Africa and recall the High Commissioner immediately to save the situation as further killing may lead to a major crisis.

“They own several multi-billion dollar investments on our soils; yet, we co-exist despite all odds. This killing and duhumanisation of Nigerians must stop. Not anymore; this must stop!

“If killing and maiming of Nigerians is the sacrifice required for us to maintain a cordial relationship, we are not willing to take it anymore.”

Kaigama also said that no South African has been killed in Nigeria despite the xenophobic attacks carried out on our brothers in their country.
He added that most of the South African companies in Nigeria go against the labour laws, but none has been shut down.

The labour leader said “How do we refer to this anti-Nigeria, nay Africa attitude? One wonders what these South Africans are turning into. Is it a case of ingratitude or lack of historical documentation by their leaders, of the unmatched leadership role Nigeria played in the 80s towards the dismantling of apartheid?

“It is on record that thousands of South African children were brought to Nigeria and distributed across all the unity schools in Nigeria and were fed and housed free courtesy of Nigerian government and Nigerians.

“They were welcomed with open arms! How have their youths missed this history that Nigerians have become objects for destruction in modern day South Africa?”

Meanwhile, there are reports that some Nigerians resident in South Africa have decided to rise up and defend themselves. »

There is no iota of doubt, irrespective of political differences, that Governor Godwin Obaseki has significantly improved State Competence, relative to his predecessors and across the States in the Country.  To achieve this, he had to rescue the State from private capture by ruthless non-State actors; this freed up public resources for public purposes.  He has held himself to a very high ethical and work-ethics standards, scrupulously focusing on the interests of the real people whilst staying on the Constitutional tracks in line with his oath of office. As a result, it was difficult to derail or defeat him despite uncountable battles in the judiciary and in other political machinations, orchestrated from high quarters.  Edo State is not yet on the mountain top, it still needs concerted push to avoid a free relapse or rollback.  The quality, intensity, ruggedness, doggedness and character of the next Governor is therefore so crucial that those lining up for the job should critically as
