Ahead of the 2023 general elections, President Muhammadu Buhari has again admonished representatives of foreign government to stay away from Nigeria’s internal affairs, especially the 2023 general election.
The President issued the admonition on Thursday when he received Letters of Credence from Ambassadors of Switzerland, Sweden, the Republic of Ireland, the Kingdom of Thailand, the Republic of Senegal, and the Republic of South Sudan at the State House.
President Buhari further stated that Nigeria is working closely with the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to deal with insecurity in the region and also implement strategies to contain the spate of unconstitutional changes in government in the sub-region.
He called for cooperation and collaboration from the countries to overcome challenges in West Africa.
President Buhari invited friendly countries to support efforts to address the challenge of insecurity, fight against corruption, diversification of the economy, and our efforts in promoting good governance.
President Buhari had in February 2022 asked foreign diplomats not to meddle in Nigeria’s politics.
