Xenophobia: Fayemi is in South Africa on a private visit - Aide “As we have travelled, we have opened also our borders to those who will seek their greener pastures here. “In Africa, we have demonstrated our commitment to the brotherhood of nations, sacrificing life, labour and wealth to achieve peace and restore freedom from Sierra Leone to Liberia, Sao Tome to South Africa. “We have sought nothing in return, we have made no claims to the land and resources of our brothers," he said.
Gbajabiamila said Nigeria's commitment has always been to the advancement of Africa and freedom in all of its lands. “Yet today and too many a time, we are called to stand as pallbearers, bringing home to burial the bodies of our brothers and sisters, fathers and mothers, our children, savaged and decimated. What is their offence? "That they dared to dream of glory and profit beyond our borders, and having dreamt, they endeavored to make real the visions of their heart.
