Obasanjo says Nigerians evacuated from South Africa should be ready to go back

Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has advised the Nigerians that evacuated from South Africa following the xenophobic attacks to get ready to go back to the South Africa.

The former president says he’s confident the meeting between President Buhari and Cyril Ramaphosa, next month will yield a positive outcome.

Obasanjo said, “I hope they will go back to the South Africa from what I heard from President Ramaphosa. Like I said, the meeting that President Buhari and President Ramaphosa will have during the first week of October should smooth the ground. And the right statements and the right action coming from both sides should encourage our people to go back.But, as I have always said that Nigerians living outside Nigeria must try to be good citizens of wherever they live. I believe the President of South Africa did the right thing to quickly send emissaries to apologise to the countries that were affected (xenophobic attacks), countries like Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Mozambique and I think this was good.”
