Posted by: Folamidavid in Celebrity News Sep 3, 2019

Popular comedian, Alibaba has shared his reaction to the xenophobic attacks happening in South Africa by speaking about President Buhari who has kept mute about it.

On Instagram, Alibaba said Buhari’s silence is not shocking since he does the same thing when the killings happen in Nigeria.

His words, “Most times, some people just read the news hear the news, and do not know the undercurrents of the news. Many do not know the interconnections of the nexus of any news they hear.

Shebi they say I’m a comedian… Ok. Let our president pull some strings, that South African President, who has not been able to stop the #xenophobic craze, will be made by those who own the big South African businesses in Nigeria, to come down, in less than 2 weeks.

But when we have a President that can not take decisive action when people are being killed like flies in his country, what will he say when it happens outside Nigeria?
_
Shioooooooor.”
