President Muhammadu Buhari has accepted his nomination as leader of the “2018 AU Theme on the Fight against Corruption’’, his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity Femi Adesina has said. Buhari was nominated by African leaders at the 29th Session of the Assembly of Heads of States and Governments of the AU in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on July 4.
The presidential aide said Buhari’s acceptance of the nomination was contained in a letter of appreciation addressed to President of Guinea, Alpha Conde. Conde is the present Chairman of the Assembly of Heads of States and Governments of the African Union.
“While thanking you for the kind words and for the nomination, I wish to express my readiness to accept this new important role and to reiterate my commitment to contribute toward our collective efforts to strengthen good governance and development on the continent. “I, therefore, look forward to working closely with you in the realisation of this objective,’’ the President wrote to Conde.
He also thanked President Conde for the nationwide prayers held last week by Guineans for his recovery and good health.
