President Muhammadu Buhari has accepted his nomination to lead African Union, AU, on its anti-corruption crusade.
His acceptance to spearhead the crusade with the theme, ‘2018 AU
Theme on the Fight against Corruption’ was contained in a letter of
appreciation addressed to President of Guinea, Alpha Conde.
Buhari was nominated by African leaders at the 29th Session of the
Assembly of Heads of States and Governments of the AU in Addis Ababa,
Ethiopia on July 4.
A statement by Buhari’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity Femi
Adesina quoted the President as saying, “While thanking you for the kind
words and for the nomination, I wish to express my readiness to accept
this new important role and to reiterate my commitment to contribute
toward our collective efforts to strengthen good governance and
development on the continent.
“I, therefore, look forward to working closely with you in the realisation of this objective.’’
DAILY POST had earlier reported that the President said he is making good progress in London where he is currently undergoing medical treatment.
