President Muhammadu Buhari has called on Nigerians living in
Doha, Qatar to support Bola Tinubu, president-elect, as he takes over the reins
of government on May 29.
Garba Shehu, presidential spokesperson, said Buhari spoke at
a town hall meeting on Tuesday.
Buhari said his administration facilitated credible,
transparent and fair elections which will be concluded on March 11, with the
governorship and state assembly elections.
He called on Nigerians in the country to “support the
incoming government of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, so that Nigeria will continue to be
the beacon of hope and prosperity in our continent and an example for other
African countries to emulate”.
Buhari acknowledged “the noble roles” that Nigerians in the
diaspora have been playing in the development of the country.
He said his administration had approved a national diaspora
policy, and supported the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM) to develop
programmes for the “ambassadors” of the country to contribute their quota towards
the development of their fatherland.
Yakubu Ahmed, Nigerian ambassador to Qatar, congratulated
Buhari for conducting a “successful” presidential and national assembly
elections.
Ahmed said the process has proven that Nigeria’s democracy
is indeed strong.
He noted that Nigeria and Qatar have maintained a brotherly
bilateral relationship since the establishment of diplomatic ties in 2013.
He said there are currently about 7,000 Nigerians residing
in Qatar, and gainfully engaged in diverse areas of human endeavours.
“I’m proud to inform you, Your Excellency that majority of
our nationals in Doha are professionals who have excelled in their chosen
careers, playing critical roles in healthcare, safety, oil and gas, aviation,
construction, among other sectors,” he added.
