…Says multi-party democracy is the best
President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday wondered why some African countries were still descending into the abyss of unconstitutional change of government, saying: I thought we had finally put that behind us.
The President stated this yesterday, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, while playing host to a delegation of the Universal Peace Federation. Recalling his experience in military and civilian rule, Buhari said that multi-party democracy is the best system.
On the Peace Summit being planned for Abuja, which is billed to bring all African countries together before the end of his administration, President Buhari pledged Nigerias support, relative to resources, to help in stabilising neighboring countries.
He decried the problems in the Sahel belt of the continent, lamenting that it is of great concern, as it negatively affects both agriculture and businesses.
The President described the interest of Universal Peace Federation Africa in the continent as quite genuine, saying he was very pleased at the development.
Chairperson of the Federation in Africa, Dr Katherine Rigney, and Chairman, 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, President Buhari will be given the ‘Leadership and Good Governance Award’, as appreciation of the fantastic results youve brought to Nigeria, and a celebration of your anti-corruption credentials.
