Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari has stated that the supervision of the Nigeria-Niger border can only be done well by God.
The thorough supervision of the Nigeria-Niger border has been left in God’s hands.
President Muhammadu Buhari revealed this while receiving in the audience former Vice President Namadi Sambo, who heads ECOWAS Election Mission to the West African country at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
He applauded President Mahamadou Issoufou, for not attempting to tamper with the Constitution of his country, and elongate his stay in power, after serving for the maximum two terms.
President Buhari in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Chief Femi Adesina said, “I come from Daura, few kilometers to the Republic of Niger, so I should know a bit about that country. The President is quite decent, and we are regularly in touch. He is sticking to the maximum term prescribed by the Constitution of his country.
“Also, we share more than 1,400 kilometers of border with that country, which can only be effectively supervised by God. I will speak with the President and offer his country our support. We need to do all we can to help stabilize the Sahel region, which is also in our own interest.”
