The Chairperson of the African
Union (AU), President Alpha Conde of Guinea on Friday initiated a phone call to
President Muhammadu Buhari in London, to wish him good health and speedy
recovery.
This is contained in a statement
issued in Abuja on Saturday by Mr Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser on Media
and Publicity to the President. Adesina said that President Conde called on
behalf of leaders of member countries of the AU.
The AU chairperson assured the
Nigerian president that all African leaders stand with him in prayers at a time
like this.
Buhari thanked Conde for
the telephone call, and congratulated him on his election as AU chairperson
during the 28th Ordinary Summit of the continental body held in Addis Ababa,
Ethiopia in January 2017.
The Nigerian president, who could not attend the AU Summit, wished
his Guinean counterpart a successful tenure. Buhari also expressed confidence
that Africa would witness improved political stability, security and economic
growth during Conde’s tenure.
It would be recalled that King Mohammed VI of Morocco on Wednesday
had a telephone conversation with Buhari in London, where the Nigerian
president is on vacation, to wish him good health.
