South African activist, Julius Malema, has flayed President Goodluck Jonathan’s handling of insecurity in Nigeria, describing him as “an irresponsible leader.”
Malema, who is the leader of Economic Freedom Fighter, chided Jonathan for his condemnation of the recent terrorist attack on a French magazine in Paris and ignoring the cries of Boko Haram victims in Nigeria.
In a YouTube video, the activist asked the South African government to intervene in the security situation in Nigeria.
Malema said he would convince the South African parliament to initiate a course of action to stop the Boko Haram sect.
He said, “Goodluck or whatever his name is, he is quick to release a statement about the killings in Paris and did not say anything about the killings in his own country; that is an irresponsible leadership.
“We are really sad by what is happening in Nigeria; it is highly disturbing; and we need the South African government to intervene. We will mandate the parliament to raise the voice for the intervention of South Africa in the security situation in Nigeria.”
