Nigerian senate on Wednesday cancelled its planned visit to the South African parliament to protest against the xenophobic attacks on Nigerians.
Ike Ekweremadu, deputy senate president, announced the decision of upper legislative during a plenary session on Wednesday.
He said the decision of the senate was informed by the need for the legislature to send a single delegation to South Africa.
The house of representatives had already nominated Femi Gbajabiamila, house leader, to lead five members of the lower legislative chamber to South Africa for the same reason.
They are – Nnenna Okeje, Sadiq Ibrahim, Henry Nwawuba, Nasiru Daura, and Shehu Musa.
Last Tuesday, the senate resolved to send a strong delegation to South Africa to protest against the attacks on Nigerians in the country.
