The warning followed what they described as Zuma ’ s poor handling of the xenophobic attacks on some Africans , including Nigerians , in his country in April .

“ We wish to advise the South African President ( Jacob Zuma ) to rather stay at home and address burning issues, rather than embarking on a visit that is the least desirable .

“ The South African President’ s failure to apologise to Nigeria for the losses the country and our citizens incurred during the xenophobic attacks on foreigners
leaves a bitter taste in the mouth.

“ There is therefore , no point felicitating with a people who clearly do not matter much to you . President Zuma ’ s visit will only amount to pretence . ”
