Some important details of the upcoming visit of
President Muhammadu Buhari to the United States
have transpired.
Muhammadu Buhari and Barack Obama
The meeting is to be held on July 20 and is
expected to be a serious step in the advancement
of diplomatic relationships between the two
countries. Last year, under Goodluck Jonathan’s
administration, Nigeria-US ties were weakened
over the military cooperation in the fight against
Boko Haram.
Sahara Reporters has disclosed the names of some
key figures, in particular five governors, who are
likely to accompany the president to Washington
D.C., where he will meet his colleague Barack
Obama.
The five governors include those of Oyo, Imo, Edo
states and two other governors. They are set to
accompany Buhari in addition to the 18-man
delegation made up of top presidential aides,
including Rotimi Amaechi, Tunde Bakare and
Farouk Adamu.
The major issue of the July 20 discussion will be
the effective ways of collaboration between the two
countries to ensure success in the fight against
terrorism and corruption in Nigeria.
As far as the Aamechi is concerned, the former
Rivers state governor on Friday paid a visit to
Buhari in Aso Rock
. Based on the recent report, it could be alleged
that the meeting was not unconnected with the
forthcoming trip to the US.
