SAN FRANCISCO, March 21, (THEWILL) – The President of Egypt, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi on Tuesday called to wish President Muhammadu Buhari, who recently returned from a 49-day medical vacation in the United Kingdom, well.
The Egyptian leader also congratulated the Nigerian President on the achievements so far recorded in the campaign against Boko Haram terrorists and other security challenges.
This was contained in a statement issued by presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina, who reported President el-Sisi as expressing the preparedness of his country to assist in Nigeria’s quest to overcome her security concerns, if needed.
He went on to express hopes that the two countries will continue to partner in other areas of mutual interest.
Also, on Thursday last week, President Adama Barrow of The Gambia in a goodwill phone call to Buhari, thanked Nigeria for her leading role in his emergence as President of his country, and wished the Nigerian leader well.
President el-Sisi’s call came a week after President Nana Akuffo-Addo of Ghana, called President Buhari to wish him good health and hoped for greater bilateral cooperation between the West African countries.
