President Muhammadu Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari on Saturday in Abuja said last Friday’s terrorist attack on an hotel in Bamako, Mali, had made it imperative for the world to work together to defeat terrorism.
A statement issued by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, said Buhari and Nigeria joined other peace-loving nations of the world in condemning the dastardly terrorist attack on the Malian hotel.
Buhari assured President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita and the people of Mali of the full support and solidarity of the Federal Government and people of Nigeria as they mourned those who lost their lives in the attack and to strive to bring the surviving perpetrators to justice. The president also extended heartfelt condolences to the governments and people of China, Russia, the United States and Belgium whose nationals sadly lost their lives in the heinous and callous attack.
Against the background of persisting atrocities in Nigeria and other countries across the world, Buhari called once again for an intensification of international cooperation against all known terrorist organisations, their collaborators and sponsors.
He stated that Nigeria, under his leadership, remained committed to deploying all necessary resources and working with friendly nations, regional, continental and global organisations to speedily overcome the continuing threat of terrorism to world peace and security.
