The Nigeria President, Muhammadu Buhari, received a Special Envoy from President Julius Mada Bio of Sierra Leone, on Wednesday.
He wished the West African country best of luck in its general elections, billed for June 2023.
I am pleased that you are pursuing your political programmes effectively, just like us. We wish each other the best of luck, the president said.
The Special Envoy, Andre Thomas Hope, said that his country was bidding for a non-permanent seat in the United Nations Security Council, and solicited for Nigeria’s support.
Hope added that his country, which saw the interventionist ECOWAS military force, ECOMOG, restoring normalcy in the past, was no longer defined by its glorious history, but it is now a beacon of hope.
Furthermore, he thanked Nigeria for the role she played.
Sierra Leone, however, has laid a foundation for free and fair election in June 2023.
