Buhari Seeks Support For Tinubu In Qatar

President Muhammadu Buhari has urged Nigerians living in Doha, Qatar to support Bola Tinubu, president-elect, as he takes over the reins of government on May 29.

Presidential spokesperson, Garba Shehu revealed that Buhari spoke at a town hall meeting on Tuesday.

Buhari said his administration facilitated credible, transparent and fair elections which will be concluded on March 11, with the governorship and state assembly elections.

He called on Nigerians in the country to “support the incoming government of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, so that Nigeria will continue to be the beacon of hope and prosperity in our continent and an example for other African countries to emulate”.

Buhari acknowledged “the noble roles” that Nigerians in the diaspora have been playing in the development of the country.

He said his administration had approved a national diaspora policy, and supported the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM) to develop programmes for the “ambassadors” of the country to contribute their quota towards the development of their fatherland.

Yakubu Ahmed, Nigerian ambassador to Qatar, congratulated Buhari for conducting a “successful” presidential and national assembly elections.
