Nigeria And Guinea Bissau’s Bond Will Remain Strong – Buhari

Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari has come out to say that he will keep fighting for democracy in Africa.

He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, there is a persevering stand of Nigeria in ensuring that Guinea Bissau remains on the side of Democratic Governance, and that will not change anytime soon.

Buhari added that Guinea Bissau and Nigeria have come a long way, and that bond will remain super strong.

His words, “In the course of this one-day official visit to Bissau today, we had an opportunity to review the state of our bilateral relations, and to share concerns on the challenges facing us in the region. I very much appreciate the naming of two roads in my honour, as well as being conferred with the highest honour of Guinea Bissau.”

“I am personally grateful to you, your government and the people of this fine country. I believe all of these were possible because of the persevering stand of Nigeria in ensuring that Guinea Bissau remains on the side of Democratic Governance.”

“Nigeria’s strong stand through the ECOWAS, in insisting and pushing for the full implementation of the Conakry Peace Agreement by imposing sanctions on nineteen (19) individuals who impeded the implementation of the Conakry Agreement helped to restore peace that now prevails in Guinea Bissau.”

“Guinea Bissau and Nigeria have come a long way. Our cordial relations date back to Guinea Bissau’s liberation struggle from Portugal when Nigeria supported the African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde.”

“Nigeria has on its own, as well as through ECOWAS, intervened at critical periods in the life of this country, making immense direct contributions as well as, by supporting international efforts on the peace process in Guinea Bissau. This fact has further reinforced our relations, enhanced understanding and trust between our two countries.”
