 The Ambassador of Nigeria to Ethiopia and Permanent Representative to the African Union, Victor Adeleke stressed that the visit would also present President Buhari the opportunity to strengthen bilateral cooperation between Nigeria and Ethiopia.

Adeleke said:‘‘Nigeria and Ethiopia enjoy warm cordial relations, they are equally the two largest democracies in Africa, in this wise, the attendance of President Buhari at the inauguration ceremony of Prime Minister Ahmed is an indication of the President’s commitment to strengthening democracy in Africa.’’
