President Adama Barrow of The Gambia has praised President Muhammadu Buhari for his leadership role in the stabilisation of African countries.
Barrow made the commendation at a news conference he jointly addressed with President Buhari after bilateral talks in the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
His words:
"When we met in Mali, he (Buhari) took a decision as a leader in a closed door meeting, where he made one statement that changed everything.
“He said that if The Gambian President (Yahya Jammeh) wanted to challenge the sub-region, he was welcome.
“This was his words and that made a big difference as a leader.
“And that leadership role was very important, not just for The Gambia, but for Africa because the problem was an African problem and the solution was an African solution.
“So we are very grateful and that is why we have come to say thank you.
“There is a saying in my country that if you want to thank a farmer for a good job, you have to visit him at his farm; that is why we are here.’’
