While in South Africa, former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi held meetings with key government ministers to discuss the growing concerns over attacks on Nigerians and other African foreigners living in the country.
Obi disclosed that he met with South African Minister of Home Affairs, Leon Schreiber; Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, Velenkosini Hlabisa; and Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture, Gayton McKenzie.
According to him, the discussions were candid and productive, focusing on migration, economic challenges, youth unemployment, insecurity, and the rising tensions affecting African migrants in South Africa.
Many Nigerians have since reacted to the development, describing it as the kind of diplomatic engagement they expect from leaders concerning the welfare and safety of Nigerians abroad.
