Buhari Returns From AU Summit, Sets For APC Campaign Grand Finale

President Muhammadu Buhari, Monday afternoon, returned to Abuja after participating in the 36th Summit of the African Union (AU) in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia.

President Buhari, who left Nigeria on Thursday afternoon, participated in a couple of events during the three-day outing, including high-level meetings on peace and security, climate change and the political situation in some West African countries.

On the sidelines of the AU Summit, President Buhari also took part in the second Conference of Heads of State and Government of the Sahel Region Climate Commission (SRCC), where Nigeria was picked to host the Secretariat of the Sahel Climate Fund.

During some of the meetings of the 36th AU Summit, Buhari presented Nigeria’s positions on critical continental issues, including urging member-states of the Union to ratify the (AfCFTA) Agreement for the economic development of the continent, as well as calling on them to strengthen early warning systems to rein in conflicts.

Meanwhile, the President is expected to lead other leaders of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, including the presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, to Lagos on Tuesday for the grand finale of the party’s presidential campaigns.
