He told newsmen in Cape Town, South Africa, on Wednesday that there was a need to work together as Nigerians in the area.
“ Our priority is to reach out to various Nigerian communities in the Western Cape Province. “ We need to build cohesion, be our brother’s keepers and form a united front on all issues affecting our country,” he said.
Nzekwe, a former President of Abia Union in South Africa, said that Nigerians in the province were hard working and law abiding.
“ We will also ensure cohesion with South Africans and other Africans to promote our cultures and learn from each other.
“ This is one way of building greater relationships between people from different countries,” he said.
He further said that the group would assist needy members, give them a sense of belonging and sensitise them on the need to be law abiding.
Nzekwe said that a peace and reconciliation committee would be set up to resolve all outstanding issues in the build-up to the election in which he emerged victorious.
` The election has come and gone. We want to ensure that all parties are reconciled in the interest of our people.
“ Once we achieve this, we are good to go because a lot of programmes have been lined up for implementation,” he said.
The chairman also solicited for the support of Nigerians in South Africa to ensure a united and strong presence in that country.
