Sorry, I Won’t Be Abel To Attend Your Inauguration, Buhari Tells Turkey President, Erdogan

President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated his Turkish counterpart, Mr. Ratep Tayyep Erdogan on his re-election even as he told him that he won’t be able to attend his inauguration scheduled for Monday, July 9th.

In a telephone conversation with President Erdogan this evening (Friday), President Buhari welcomed his invitation to the Monday 9th inauguration but regretted his inability to be personally present.

He told the Turkish President that he would be sending the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Muhammed Musa Bello to represent him.

Buhari however, expressed the hope that the results of the recently held elections will strengthen democracy and lead Turkey towards more economic prosperity even as he said that he looked forward to the strengthening of relations between Nigeria and Turkey.

Presidents Buhari and Erdogan enjoy a great relationship and have met a number of times since their coming into office. [myad]
