The presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party,
NNPP, Rabiu Kwankwaso, says former president Olusegun Obasanjo has reconfirmed
his position as a pre-eminent African statesman, following his role in the
ceasefire between the Ethiopian government and the Tigrayan forces.
Kwankwaso disclosed this in a post via his Twitter handle.
Recall that the former president has been receiving
commendations for quelling the Ethiopia-Tigray conflict.
He said the diplomatic breakthrough between waring groups in
Ethiopia is significant and timely.
He wrote, “This morning, I read that the Ethiopian
government and Tigrayan forces have established a telephone hotline following a
truce struck last week by the African Union’s chief mediator, Chief Olusegun
Obasanjo.
“This diplomatic breakthrough, two years into a war that has
killed thousands and displaced millions, is epoch-making and timely. It is also
needed for other conflicts across the globe.
“President Olusegun Obasanjo has reconfirmed his position as a pre-eminent African statesman for his role in this ceasefire. We are all proud to have him, as are Nigeria and the African continent.”
