A PDP stalwart contesting the Lagos State Governorship ticket
in the coming election has asked Nigerians to boycott MTN, DStv and other South
African owned companies over the confiscation of the $5.7 million meant for
purchase of arms for the Nigerian government
The Governorship aspirant posted the following message on his
Facebook page:
“I’m officially boycotting all South African businesses in
Nigeria, starting today, including but not limited to Shoprite, Game and
others. I refuse to continue being a ‘mumu’ (stupid) for a country where we’re
obviously hated at the highest levels # BoycottSouthAfrica,” he wrote on his
page.
He also noted that he would not pick any calls coming from
South Africa owned telecommunications giant MTN and stop subscription to
digital pay TV, DStv.
“Whatever you do, please, do not call me with an MTN line. I
will not pick up, for to do so is to give a South African company Nigerian
revenue. My DStv subscription runs out soon, and I shall not be renewing it,”
he also stated.
Recall that the South African Government had three weeks ago
seized the sum of $9.3 million also meant for purchase of arms.
