President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday said all efforts to achieve political stability and maintain peace in Africa will continue to receive Nigeria’s full support.

Buhari made the remark while speaking at an audience with Special Envoys of President Pierre Nkurunziza of Burundi, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The President, in a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, said under his leadership, Nigeria will remain at the forefront of efforts to achieve enduring peace, security and progress in all African nations.

This, he said, was because whatever happens elsewhere in Africa affects Nigeria directly or indirectly.

He said African leaders must all do their best to achieve greater peace, political stability and security within their countries so that they can give more attention to the urgent task of improving the living conditions of their people.

Thanking the envoys, Maj.-Gen. Evariste Ndayishimiye and Ambassador Dieudonne Kwizera, for briefing him on recent political developments in Burundi, President Buhari was optimistic that all stakeholders in the country will resolve their differences peacefully and learn to work together for the development of their country.

He welcomed ongoing efforts by President Nkurunziza towards peace and national reconciliation in Burundi.
