The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), on Wednesday, expressed concern over the unconstitutional change of power experienced in several African States.
Wondering why some African countries were still descending into unconstitutional regime change, Buhari said: “I thought we had finally put that behind us.”
On the Peace Summit being planned for Abuja, the President pledged Nigeria’s support, “relative to resources, to help in stabilising neighboring countries.”He also decried the challenges in the Sahel belt of the continent, lamenting that it is of great concern, as it affects both agriculture and businesses negatively.
The President described the interest of Universal Peace Federation Africa in the continent as “quite genuine,” saying he was very pleased with the development. In their remarks, the Chairperson of the Federation in Africa, Dr Katherine Rigney and Chairman of the Universal Peace Federation International Dr Thomas Walsh, said they believed the forthcoming summit in Nigeria “Will top them all,” having held similar meetings in the past in Niger Republic, Senegal, Sao Tome and Principe, South Africa, among others.
During the Abuja Summit, Buhari will be given the Leadership and Good Governance Award, “as an appreciation of the fantastic results you’ve brought to Nigeria, and a celebration of your anti-corruption credentials,” Rigney said.All rights reserved.
