President Muhammadu Buhari has appreciated former President
of the United States, Bill Clinton, for his continuous support for Nigeria and
the growth of her democracy.
Mr Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser to the President on
Media and Publicity, in a statement in Abuja on Thursday, said President Buhari
gave the commendation in a telephone conversation with Clinton on Wednesday
night.
President Buhari described Clinton as a friend of the
country while commending his constant support for the peace, stability and
progress of Nigeria under a democratic dispensation.
He also assured him of his commitment to free, fair and
credible elections in the weeks ahead.
“President Clinton, who regretted his inability to visit the
country to witness the signing of the final peace accord before the general
elections, wished Nigeria well as her citizens go to the polls,’’ the statement
revealed.
It was gathered that Clinton had planned to witness the
signing of the Wednesday’s second Peace Accord where presidential candidates on
February 16 general elections renewed their pledge for the peaceful conduct of
the exercise.
The candidates also agreed to accept the outcome of the
elections.
The event, which was witnessed by prominent personalities
including three former African Presidents from Liberia, Tanzania and Botswana,
was organised by the National Peace Committee under the chairmanship of the
former Head of State, Abdulsalami Abubakar.
