President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday assured the African Union (AU) of Nigeria’s support in securing stability and prosperity for Africa.
He gave the assurance in New York on Monday during a bilateral discussion with the President of the Union of Comoros and Chairperson of the African Union (AU), President Azali Assoumani.
The African Union (AU), Tinubu stated, is strategically positioned to secure consensus positions for the continent on economic and socio-political relations with the world, particularly with Nigeria’s stalwart backing.
“There is nothing that can bring development and prosperity, outside of embracing freedom and constitutional order. It is a critical hallmark of sustainable development,” a statement by the presidential spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale, quoted the President as saying.
“We appreciate that the AU is working hard to bring about peace in the Sahel and is actively negotiating between the warring factions in Sudan. Peace in Sudan will be a great achievement. I appreciate your effort in Burkina Faso and our effective cooperation on Niger.
On his part, the AU Chairperson, President Azali Assoumani, noted that the African Union seeks to complete Nigeria’s effort in securing peace and prosperity in Africa, rather than competing with it.
As President of the Union of Comoros, the AU Chairperson said that Comoros seeks to learn from Nigeria’s experience concerning the steady improvement in diversity management, electoral officiation, and economic growth over many years.
