Xenophobic attacks: “Please send that aide to school to get proper education” – Ezekwesili replies Presidency

The Former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, came under heavy crictism after an aide to President Muhammadu Buhari,Bashir Ahmaad, revealed on his Twitter page on Wednesday, that Ezekwesili would be attending World Economic Forum, WEF, in South Africa despite Nigerian government’s withdrawal from the event.

Bashir tweeted: “Nigerian government has boycotted the World Economic Forum holding in Cape Town, South Africa, but some individuals from Nigeria including a former Minister are attending on their own.

“Madam Oby Ezekwesili, she is attending the WEF in Cape Town, South Africa.”

Ezekwesili in response to Bashir’s tweet said she does not need Buhari’s government to decide her participation in WEF, that she decided to attend the WEF because of citizens at risk in South Africa

On her Twitter page she wrote: “Please send that aide to school to get proper education.

“Who told him that a private citizen like me needs their Nigerian government to decide my participation at WEF ? Imagine.

“I am doing more for our at-risk citizens.
“Who has time for their nonsense politicking with citizens’ lives?”
