President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday called on the global community and Nigerians to support the incoming government of President-elect Muhammadu Buhari.
He spoke while receiving members of the African Ambassadors Group, who were on a farewell and solidarity visit to the State House, Abuja.
The President, according to a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, said that the incoming government will need the cooperation and commitment of the global community and Nigerians to effectively deliver on its promises to the people.
He said: “The President-elect is not new to governance in Africa. So, I want you to show the same commitment to him as you have to me. The President-elect knows that our commitment is always to project Africa. I am urging you to extend the same warmth and solidarity you have shown to me to him.”
He enjoined African leaders to encourage trade within the continent by building infrastructures and institutions that promote trade and relationships.
The President recalled working extensively for more than five years with other African Presidents to forestall crisis in some African countries, especially in the West African sub-region, and also leading peace efforts in Cote ‘d’Ivoire, Mali and Guinea Bissau.
