Obasanjo condemns S’African leader over xenophobic attacks

Former Nigeia President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has raised his voice against the current Xenophobia attacks on Nigerians living in South Africa blaming it all on the insincerity of the government of that country.
He made his position known in Abeokuta, the Ogun state capital while receiving the leadership of the Nigeria Institute of Policy and Strategic Study, Kuru, Jos, at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, during a courtesy call on him by the management of the institute led by its chairman, Major General Laurence Onoja (rtd).
The former president said the current development in south Africa betrayed the struggle for the emancipation of the country against apartheid regime.
He however called on African head of governments to ensure good governance for overall development of the continent for its teeming population.
His words, “Youths can be so immature, they may not understand what Africa stands for ,what our continental organizations stand for, but if the youths do not understand what happened to the elders, what happened to the leadership, I will blame the youths of the country for the attacks but I will blame the leaders more in any country that allows xenophobic attacks against fellow Africans for whatever reason.”
“Having said that, it is also the responsibility of every one of us in our different countries to prepare our countries so that those our youths that think that there is an Eldorado somewhere outside their countries will be made to know that there is no green pasture anywhere, the green pasture is here in your country.I feel disheartened to know that many of our youths perished while crossing the sahara desert or the Mediterranean.
