The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), on Thursday in Seoul, South Korea, reaffirmed Nigeria’s commitment to stabilising the country’s democratic system.
Speaking during his meeting with the Speaker of the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea, Mr. Kim Jin-Pyo, on the side-lines of the World Bio Summit 2022, the President declared that the successes achieved in the recent off-season elections in Anambra, Ekiti and Osun States, confirmed that the people of Nigeria have approved the democratic form of government.
Recalling his political journey dotted with several attempts and court cases to clinch the Presidency, the Nigerian leader praised the introduction of technology, especially the use of Permanent Voter Cards, for his eventual success at the polls, while noting that the diversities introduced by the colonial history of Nigeria, unlike in Korea, have not made governance easy.
He also commended the resourcefulness of the Korean shipping industry, and thanked the host government’s assistance towards the rehabilitation of Nigeria’s infrastructure, describing it as “crucial.”
