President Barrack Obama on Monday stated that he was impressed with the work of President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria since he resumed office, noting that, can tackle the multiple challenges facing Nigeria.
Obama gave the assurance in Washington DC, when he received Buhari, who was on 4-day official visit to the United States. “I want to emphasize how much I appreciate President Buhari’s work so far. I have seen him put together a team so that we can do everything that we can to help him succeed and help the people of Nigeria succeed.
According to him, Buhari has come with a clear agenda to tackle the problem of insecurity occasioned by the activities of Boko Haram sect as well as other violence criminal activities.
Obama expressed appreciation to Buhari’s leadership style so far, saying that his administration would continue to assist and help Nigeria in overcoming its challenges. “It is a great pleasure to welcome President Buhari and his delegation here in the White House for his first visit since the historic election that took place “Nigeria is obviously one of the most important countries in the world, one of the most important countries in the African continent.
“Recently, we saw an election in which a peaceful transition to a new government took place. Nevertheless, the people of Nigeria understand that only through a peaceful political process that can change takes place.
“President Buhari came into office with reputation for integrity and a very clear agenda that is to make sure that he has been bringing safely security and peace to his country. “He is very concerned about the spread and the violence that is taking place there and the atrocities and has a very clear agenda in defeating Boko Haram and extremists. Obama also assured that American government would continue to partner with Nigeria in ensuring political stability in Africa and around the world.
He described Nigeria as one of the most important countries in the world and congratulated the country for conducting peaceful elections. He also commended Nigeria for taking leadership position in the fight against the spread of diseases like Ebola and Polio and pledged that his administration would continue to accord Nigeria the necessary recognition to bring peace to Africa and the world.
In his remarks, President Buhari commended the American Government under the leadership of President Obama for mounting pressure on former Jonathan’s administration to conduct a free and fair election in Nigeria. According to him, Nigeria will remain forever grateful to America for this singular act.
The visit of the Secretary of State before the elections to see the former president, the Chairman of Independent National Electoral Commission and the opposition was a positive trend that “saw us through the elections”.
“And the maintenance of pressure by United States mainly and Europe to make sure that the elections were free, fair and credible made us to be where we are now. “It would have been almost impossible if the United States did not maintain the pressure on the former Nigerian Government.”
Buhari, therefore, thanked Obama for inviting him to visit his country as well as his administration’s support to Nigeria. For more scintillating and juicy stories, follow the official Naijapals accounts On Twitter - @Naijapals and Facebook - www.facebook.com/naijapals

fallacious praising, what has he done ever since he resumes office that Jonathan did not do? it is security stability, power stability, educational and medical advancement or government transparency, all those praises are just formalities, all we need is the obvious change as he promised because for me I have never seen any change in Nigeria than before or it is a game to flatter Jonathan or what? spare me those cock and bull story

Why is it that you buhari can never give Jonathan credit for once for leaving office peaceful for you. Since you came into power either Jonathan left nothing for you to work with or that his leadership did not do anything, is obasanjo a saint that you never call his name or was he not the the one who left nigeria half way for yardua and Jonathan, now Obama and America forced Jonathan out and brought you in instead of saying thank you to your brother man for his honesty, respect for democracy and the country , you are telling another business man who makes his profit from your troubles and sleepless nights that if not for him and mogabe is still on in Zimbabwe . My humble advice to you is this please if know what to do to bring peace and love back to the country just do it and clean the shame on this name called nigeria and stop accusations. America have their own problems and they as well live on countries like ours that are not United please my brother I beg of you.

OBAMA AN ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION.. So long Buhari wil never talk about CONFAB, Buhari is a crab of sheet.. '' 2014 Ex president GEJ hosted a National Conference called (CONFAB)... That constitution implies that, each state should have their own constitution, its own police force, its own prison service, create its own local governments, build its own airport, control its own natural resouces ect.. The basics for this conference is to unite all nigerian ethnic state from a centralized system of government to a participant shared government from a regional level.. This meant, power is no longer centralized from a federal level instead, power is legislated by ethnic state... CONFAB argued that, the purpose for this, is to allow all Nigerian the chance to decide how their state and communities are govern, and doing this wil end corruption.. It further explain that corruption is due to a centralized oligrachy of power.''
