Some members of diplomatic community in Nigeria, Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC and other activists have rallied support to end the U.S. sanctions on Venezuela.
They made the call during the Venezuela Solidarity Campaign tagged: “U.S. Hands off Venezuela” and the visit of the Vice President of Venezuela Aristibulo Almeida to NLC in Abuja.
The Cuba Ambassador to Nigeria, Carlos Sosa said that there was need to rally support for Venezuela because the country’s agitation against the U.S. was a fight for all including African countries.
Sosa, who spoke on behalf of other Ambassadors at the event, said Venezuela would rather die instead of being on their knees and that the country would want to protect its dignity. He called on African leaders not to let down Venezuela or leave the battle for it alone because it is a battle for all.
The NLC Vice President, Najeem Yasin pledged the support of the union in the struggle of Venezuela against the U.S.
