 Discrimination: Buratai calls for expulsion of Chinese supermarket


The TY Buratai Humanity Care Foundation has called for the expulsion of the Chinese family owners of the Abuja supermarket, which allegedly denied access to Nigerians.

The foundation, led by its chairman, Ambassador Ibrahim Dahiru Danfulani Sadaukin Garkuwan Keffi and Betara of Biu, expressed deep concern over the discriminatory practices of the supermarket, which only allows Chinese citizens to enter and purchase goods while barring Nigerians from doing the same.

The Grand Patron of the Foundation, His Excellency Ambassador Lt Gen Tukur Yusufu Buratai (Rtd) CFR, former Chief of Army Staff, condemned the discriminatory actions of the supermarket owners, likening it to racism. He emphasised that no foreign citizen should be denied his rights in Nigeria as long as he or she abides by the country’s laws.

Gen Buratai also questioned the audacity of foreigners dictating terms to bona-fide citizens on how to live or stay in their own country.

He further criticised the discriminatory policies of the supermarket owners, stating that there is no valid reason for a company in Nigeria to refuse to sell to Nigerians. He labelled the actions of the Chinese family-owned establishment as a clear case of racism and called for decisive action by the federal government against any individuals, foreign or Nigerian, who flout the rules and regulations of the nation.
