Reacting to the Xenophobic attacks in a tweet on Tuesday, Gbajabiamila said he would be cutting short his trip so as to enable the leadership of the House of Representatives to consider cutting short the recess and reconvene for a day to address the killings of Nigerians in South Africa.

“Will be cutting short my trip to Tanzania for the 50th Commonwealth Parliamentary Conference @CPA_Secretariat and will be leaving today, for the leadership of the @HouseNGR to consider cutting short the recess and reconvening for one day to address the killings of Nigerians in SA.”
