Buhari wishes Sierra Leone peaceful 2023 general elections
President Muhammadu Buhari, on Wednesday, received a special envoy from President Julius Mada Bio of Sierra Leone, wishing the West African country the best of luck in its general elections, billed for June 2023.
“I am pleased you are pursuing your political programmes effectively, just like us. We wish each other the best of luck,” Mr Buhari said.
The special envoy, Andre Thomas Hope, said his country was bidding for a non-permanent seat in the United Nations Security Council and solicited Nigeria’s support.
He also said his country, which saw the interventionist ECOWAS military force, ECOMOG, restoring normalcy in the past, was no longer defined by its inglorious history “but is now a beacon of hope.”
He, therefore, thanked Nigeria for the role she played.
According to Mr Hope, Sierra Leone has made progress in laying a foundation for free and fair polls in June 2023, with the citizenry having unhindered access to registration.
