SA rejects Nigerians’ poll participation calls

Pretoria – The government has dismissed demands by Nigerians to participate in future South African elections.

In an interview, spokesperson for the department of international relations and cooperation, Clayson Monyela, said such demands by Nigerians were “ridiculous” and “unacceptable.”

Arguing that the idea would never be tolerated, Monyela challenged Nigerians living in South Africa to understand bilateral agreements and trade relations.

“It is impossible, ridiculous and unacceptable! What it means is that our country has to change the constitution to suit Nigerian demands; something that is impossible,” Monyela said.
