President Bola Tinubu has called on other African countries to lend their voices to unanimously condemn the ongoing Afro-phobic attacks, also known as Xenophobia, in South Africa.
Tinubu said that a united voice would send a clear message to that Southern African country that such intolerance is absolutely not acceptable under any form.
Speaking on Sunday in Freetown, Sierra Leone, during the 69th Ordinary Session of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government, the President, who was represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, informed the African leaders that the Nigerian government had already evacuated over one thousand four hundred and ninety of its citizens from harm’s way in seven batches and is prepared to engage further on this matter.
He also declared Nigeria’s support for the newly developed ECOWAS Compact for the Future of Regional Integration, noting that the document reinforces the region’s shared commitment to rebuilding trust between citizens and public institutions.
