The Equatorial Guinea President,
Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, has congratulated President Muhammadu Buhari for
defeating Boko Haram.
Recall that, Buhari met with
Mbasogo in Aso Rock on Tuesday.
Mbasogo described Boko Haram
terrorists as ‘dogs’, insisting that only dogs kill people mercilessly for
their selfish reasons.
Addressing State House
Correspondents at the end of the meeting, President Mbasogo said he opted to
visit President Buhari to know about the state of his health in view of the
health crisis he went through last year.
The Equatorial Guinean President
said he was glad to see his Nigerian counterpart hail and healthy.
According to him, through
Buhari’s committed fight against Boko Haram, the insurgent group is almost
eliminated but for pockets of attacks still being carried out by the
insurgents.
“One of the salient issues in the
meeting was that l congratulated our dear brother for the great fight against
Boko Haram. We realised that Boko Haram had caused a great havoc that had been
carried all over the sub-region including Chad and Cameroon. He is doing a
great job. He’s almost eradicating the menace of Boko Haram apart from pockets
of attacks here and there,” he said.
Cameroon is a big nation whose
crisis requires the concern of all forces. There is no nation without its own
crisis. What is required is to seek solution through dialogue and use it to
find a common axis. Those seeking refuge in other lands need to sit down
together and find solution through dialogue. It is only through that, they can
find solution to the crisis,” he said.
“On piracy in the Gulf of Guinea,
the pirates are destroying and sabotaging the property of Nigeria. The
government of Nigeria cannot develop the area. What is warming therefore is to
expect the government of Nigeria to bring the parties to dialogue for a
solution to the crisis.
“In Equatorial Guinea, we feel
concerned. We all need to put our hands on deck to ensure that there is
security in all regions. We have to develop our nations and we can only do so
under peace and harmony,” he added.
