President Muhammadu Buhari has joined other world leaders to congratulate Ethiopian leader, Abiy Ahmed, who was declared winner of 2019 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday in Oslo, Norway.
Buhari, in a statement by his spokesman, Femi Adesina, said “it portends a good sign for the peace processes within countries, and across borders on African continent”.
President Buhari felicitated with the Prime Minister, his cabinet and all Ethiopians on the remarkable global recognition of winning the 100th peace prize, which was attributed to a decision to end 20-year conflict between two African countries, Ethiopia and Eritrea.
The President reiterated his belief that African development is strongly tied to peaceful co-existence, and deliberate efforts by governments and people to sustain harmony within and between countries, urging more concerted and collective partnership on peace in the continent.
