According to President Akufo-Addo, Africa and the world will miss outgoing Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari.
The President claimed posterity will be kind to the outgoing Nigerian president.
President Akufo-Addo made the remarks while speaking at the public presentation and launch of two biographies, “State of Repair – How Muhammadu Buhari tried to change Nigeria for Good”, by Anthony Goldman, and “The Legacy of Muhammadu Buhari”, by Senator Abu Ibrahim, in Abuja, Nigeria.
The two new books discuss President Buhari’s legacies.
He is scheduled to leave office on May 29, 2023, when the new government is sworn in.
“As leaders, we all have our high and low moments, but I have no doubt that posterity will be kind to Muhammadu Buhari.
“West Africa, Africa, and, indeed, the world will miss his leadership – the leadership of the military ruler turned consummate democrat, who was extremely solicitous of Nigeria and Africa’s interest, and who sought for principle in all decisions in which he took,” the President said.
He congratulated the Englishman, Anthony Goldman, and the Nigerian, Senator Abu Ibrahim, for their industry and scholarship. And to the many other authors, poets and playwrights on the continent.
He also urged them to tell the African story truthfully and with flair, and to give praise where it has been earned, and criticism where it is deserved.
