Having tested the depth of the troubled water of both military and civilian rule with his two legs, President Muhammadu Buhari submits that multi-party democracy remains the best system.

The President spoke Wednesday at State House, Abuja, while playing host to a delegation of the Universal Peace Federation.

He wondered why some African countries were still descending into the abyss of unconstitutional change of government, saying: “I thought we had finally put that behind us.”

On the Peace Summit being planned for Abuja, to bring all African countries together before the end of this administration, President Buhari pledged Nigeria’s support, “relative to resources, to help in stabilizing neighboring countries.”

He decried the problems in the Sahel belt of the continent, expressing great concern, as it affects both agriculture and businesses negatively.

The President described the interest of Universal Peace Federation Africa in the continent as “quite genuine,” and expressed satisfaction with it’s development.

Dr Katherine Rigney, Chairperson of the Federation in Africa, and Dr Thomas Walsh, Chairman Universal Peace Federation International, both expressed optimism that the forthcoming summit in Nigeria “will top them all,” having held similar meetings in the past in Niger Republic, Senegal, Sao Tome and Principe, South Africa, among others.

At the Abuja Summit, President Buhari will be honoured with the Leadership and Good Governance Award, as a token of appreciation of the fantastic results he brought to Nigeria, through the successful implementation of his anti-corruption crusade. (State House report)
