2 minute read
President Muhammadu Buhari has resolved to probe the failed
arms deal between the immediate past administration of Goodluck Jonathan and
the South African government.
Buhari who was in South Africa for the African Union (AU)
Summit made this known in his address to Nigerians at the Nigerian commission
in Johannesburg on Monday, June 15, Punch reports.
The president said he will demand the release of the $9.3m
weapon money seized by South African authorities on September 5, 2014,
from some persons who claimed to be representing the immediate past
administration of Goodluck Jonathan.
Buhari said he also plans to discuss an array of issues
affecting the interests of Nigerians in the country with the South African
president, Jacob Zuma.
“He(Zuma) wants to come to Nigeria. There are
issues he knows which he wants to talk about. I will certainly talk to him; I
hope our ambassador will send a comprehensive report about the court cases and
about those who lost properties during the xenophobic attacks recently….and at
that time, I will attempt to ask him about our $9.3m which was not correctly
transferred.” Buhari added.
He enjoined Nigerians residing South Africa to be good
ambassadors of the country, reminding them that they were representing the
interest of Nigeria in a foreign country.
“Those of you, who have the opportunity to come
here and represent us, make sure that you are representing Nigeria, you are all
ambassadors of Nigeria. This means a lot of patience, restraint, self-respect
and pride. You must have all these.”
South Africa was hit by a wave of deadly xenophobic attacks
between March and April 2015, with locals attacking and killing at least five
African migrants. Several Nigerian residing in the
country were reported to have lost properties in the attacks
