President Muhammadu Buhari is committed to ensuring that Africa remains the centre peace of Nigeria’s foreign policy, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu, said on Thursday.
He said the dream of Africa peace is possible when all countries join hands to work for the development of the continent, with the notion that peace is attainable.
Onu spoke while receiving an award from African Students’ Union Parliament (ASUP) at Abuja.
The APC chieftain said the change was possible due to the collective desire of Nigerians to effect it in a democratic manner.
Onu said: “I want to assure you that this present administration in Nigeria came because of the collective desire of Nigerians for change. We were in the opposition for 16 years and Nigerians did not like the way the country was moving.
“And that is why many of us who were in opposition stayed there to make sure we effect the change in a democratic manner. And the administration we have now-the Muhammadu Buhari’s administration is committed to making sure that Africa remains the centre peace of Nigeria’s foreign policy.
“We have the largest population in Africa and largest economy on the continent. Thus we have a lot of responsibility to help engineer the new direction, the direction of growth, the direction of development and other peaceful condition throughout Africa.”
