Reno Omokri, the former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, has joined thousands of Nigerians who are condemning President Muhammadu Buhari for being silent over the recent killings and xenophobic attacks on Nigerians in South Africa.

KanyiDaily had earlier reported that three people were confirmed dead and properties of foreigners, especially Nigerians were being looted following an outbreak of fresh xenophobic attacks in the Jeppestown area of Johannesburg in South Africa.

President of the Nigeria Union South Africa, Adetola Olubajo, said that the recent attacks began last week after a taxi driver was murdered by an alleged drug dealer in Pretoria.

Properties including cars which belong to Nigerians in the country, were set on fire by South Africans. Shops belonging to Nigerians were also looted by South Africans as captured in a viral video.

Reacting to the slow response of the Nigerian Government to the development, Omokri claimed that Buhari was not concerned about the recent killings because the victims were Igbos.

According to him, Buhari had not acted over the incident because the South East gave him five percent during the 2019 Presidential election. He said:

“General @MBuhari is NOT bothered about the KILLINGS of Nigerians in SA because he feels that most Nigerians there are Igbos. They are 5 percenters. If he wanted to, he could act fast. Remember how fast he acted with Zainab Aliyu in Saudi Arabia? #StopKillingNigeriansInSA

“What a USELESS government! A week after a foreign country has been KILLING your CITIZENS and VANDALISING PROPERTY you are still on @Twitter TALKING. Ordinary TRAVEL ADVISORY against SA you haven’t done. And you are surprised they don’t take you seriously?”
