Umeh Urges Nigeria to Expel South African Firms Over Xenophobic Attacks

Senator Victor Umeh has condemned recent xenophobic violence in South Africa. He accused some South Africans of forgetting Nigeria’s historic support during the anti-apartheid struggle. During an interview on a national TV channel, he argued that Nigeria should reconsider the presence of South African businesses. “We can send them away from here, including their businesses. Who cares? There’s nothing they are doing in Nigeria that we cannot do ourselves,” he said. Umeh warned that continued attacks risk isolating South Africa on the global stage. He urged the Nigerian government to respond firmly and protect its citizens abroad while defending national interests.
