Senate President, David Mark, has called on the Zimbabwean government to stop humiliating Nigerians, just as he reiterated the need for the government to improve on its relationship with foreigners residing in their country.
Speaking yesterday, when he hosted the Deputy Prime Minister of Zimbabwe, Mrs. Thokozani Khupe, in his office, Senator Mark reminded the government and people of Zimbabwe of the need to accommodate other nationals and crave true democracy.
Mark noted that recent reports show that Nigerians consistently face humiliation in their daily activities, with the immigration service and other security agencies in Zimbabwe.
He appealed that the action should be addressed if the already existing bilateral relationship between the two countries must be strengthened, adding that “Nigeria will contribute towards ensuring that true democracy reigns in Zimbabwe.”
Earlier, the Deputy Prime Minister of Zimbabwe, Mrs. Thokozani Khupe, disclosed that her visit was to intimate the President of the Senate of the establishment of a Global Power Women Network, a body to champion the cause of women across African continent.
She stressed that the organisation will look at the plights of women and collectively fashion out ways to combat them, just as she called for the support of leaders in Africa toward the initiative in the fight against maternal mortality, HIV/AIDS, rape and all forms of social vices militating against women in Africa..
The Senate President, who assured the government and people of Zimbabwe of Nigeria’s support to enthrone true democratic practice in Zimbabwe, said:
