In a statement by the Director, Media and Publicity, All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Organisation, Malam Garba Shehu, in Abuja, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (Rtd.), Nigeria’s President-elect, on Saturday, gave full support to the steps taken by the Federal Government to protect Nigerians from xenophobic attacks in South Africa.

 “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 at home and keep out of trouble.

“Nigerians in South Africa should obey the laws of their host country,’’ the statement quoted Buhari as saying.

According to the statement, 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 to them by their government’s representative in Pretoria.

“I am happy to see that the Nigerian government is very well aware of its responsibilities to its citizens in South Africa,’’ the statement stated.
