as the World Economic Forum ends in South Africa, activist, politician and a former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, has tackled the Federal Government over the negative reactions she got for attending the forum in South Africa.
Many have slammed Ezekwesili for attending it, saying she was insensitive to the plight of Nigerians over xenophobic attacks.
The Nigerian government officially withdrawn while star entertainers such as Tiwa Savage and Basketmouth shunned events they’re piled to attend in SA.
Reacting to the development, however, Ezekwesili tweeted that the government incited the people against her.
She noted, “You’d be naive to think that the mob action the Nigeria Government planned, incited and orchestrated against me was “because she went to WEF when the country boycotted it”. No. Just part of a cheap & frustrated strategy designed to bully, slander, denigrate me at every opportunity.
“A Nigeria Government that had several of its high ranking and low ranking officials in South Africa when I arrived for WEF on Wednesday mischievously rolls out the drumbeats of attacks against me, a private citizen for “ignoring the boycott of WEF. Their dishonesty is incurable.”
