President Bola Tinubu, speaking through Vice President Kashim Shettima, condemns xenophobic attacks in South Africa targeting Nigerians and other African nationals. At the 69th Ordinary Session of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government in Freetown, Sierra Leone, Tinubu calls on ECOWAS to speak with a unified voice in condemning the attacks and to table the issue before the African Union. He warns that continued silence would embolden intolerance across the continent. Nigeria, the sources report, has already reacted to renewed incidents of xenophobic violence by evacuating citizens from South Africa in multiple batches. Tinubu also says the government remains prepared to take further measures to protect Nigerians abroad. Beyond the immediate security concern, Tinubu reiterates Nigeria’s support for the newly developed ECOWAS Compact for Regional Integration. He describes the compact as a framework meant to strengthen cooperation, rebuild public trust in institutions, and reinforce regional unity amid broader global challenges. Overall, the reporting presents Tinubu’s position as linking condemnation and diplomatic action with a broader push for regional integration and coordinated continental responses.
