Allen Onyema, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Air Peace, Nigeria’s largest airline, has called for a response to xenophobic actions in South Africa.
The founder of the air carrier suggested that Nigerians boycott South African businesses and halt investments in South African-based companies in response to the movement currently targeting African migrants in South Africa.
He aired his opinion on the subject during an interview with AriseTV on Monday, calling for a response to South Africa’s actions while simultaneously denouncing any violent retaliation that could endanger Nigerian companies.
In response to proposals regarding the necessity of consequences for the hostilities, the airline CEO stated, “I totally agree that there should be a stop to foolishness.”
He further alleged that South African officials have been negligent in their duty to safeguard foreign residents during occurrences of xenophobic hostility.
