President Muhammadu Buhari has assured that Nigeria is committed to pushing for justice, equity and fairness.

The president said this in his address during a sideline meeting with the Prime Minister of Palestine, Mohammad Shtayyeh, at the ongoing African Union meetings, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

According to him, Nigeria remains unwavering in supporting democracy, development and good governance, particularly in ensuring the rights of individuals and institutions, despite pockets of undemocratic trends on the continent.

He noted that Nigeria is totally against unconstitutional changes of government which recently occurred in Burkina Faso where some soldiers ousted President Roch Marc Christian Kabore last month.

The President’s speech was contained in a statement issued by his spokesman, Mr Femi Adesina on Saturday.

“As a country, we are doing our best, and we will continue doing our best to ensure justice and fairness,” the President was quoted as saying.

The President assured the Palestinian leader that Nigeria would be “consistent” in pushing for peace and progress, while upholding the tenets of justice.

In his remarks, the Palestinian leader noted that the situation in the Middle East, particularly relations with Israel, had deteriorated over the years, adding that the world needed to know the facts.

Shtayyeh thanked the Nigerian leader for his leadership role on the continent.

“Your Excellency, we thank you for your wisdom. We need it more now.

“Please continue to stay well and healthy, because we need your wisdom,” he said.
