THE National Association of Nigerian Students ( NANS) has warned South African President, Jacob Zuma , not to come to Nigeria for the inauguration of
President- Elect , Muhammadu Buhari .
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 .
According to a statement signed by NANS President, Tijani Usman, the failure of the South African President to apologise to Nigerians after the attacks was distasteful , even as they expressed their anger in a statement signed by its The statement in part reads:
“ 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 . ”
