President Milos Zeman of Czech Republic has expressed his willingness to work with President Muhammadu Buhari in the years ahead for the development of his country and Nigeria.
He made the remark on Tuesday in his congratulatory message to Buhari over his victory at the February 23 presidential election in Nigeria.
‘‘I highly value the diversity of cooperation and longstanding friendly relations between the Czech Republic and the Federal Republic of Nigeria. I am looking forward to working with Your Excellency in the years ahead to further develop mutual cooperation to the benefit of the people of both our countries,’’ the Czech President said.
President Buhari also received congratulatory and goodwill messages from Shaikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the President of United Arab Emirates (UAE), Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of UAE and Shaikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE’s Armed Forces.
Buhari of the All Progressives Congress, APC, won Nigeria’s presidential election, beating the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, to the second place.
Atiku and his party have however rejected the verdict, saying that it would be contested in court.
