Why My Meeting With President Obama is Important — Buhari
President Muhammadu Buhari Wednesday in Abuja expressed the hope that his
forthcoming meeting with President Barack Obama will further strengthen
bilateral ties between Nigeria and the USA.
At a meeting the United States Deputy Secretary of State, Mr. Anthony J.
Blinken, President Buhari said that his talks with President Obama will also
give a much needed impetus to his administration’s efforts to overcome the
challenge of terrorism.
The President told Mr. Blinken that Nigeria also looks forward to greater
support from the United States for the multinational Joint Task Force being
mobilized against Boko Haram.
President Buhari said that Nigeria and other Gulf of Guinea nations will also
welcome more cooperation from the United States to enhance maritime security
in the Gulf and curb crude oil theft.
On behalf of President Obama, Mr. Blinken commiserated with President Buhari
and all Nigerians over the recent loss of lives in terrorist attacks.
The Under Secretary of State said that he was convinced that President
Buhari’s election will further expand the frontiers of the existing
relationship between Nigeria and the United States.
He assured President Buhari that the United States government will be ready to
discuss all matters put forward by the Nigerian government during the
President’s visit to Washington DC.
