President Muhammadu Buhari Saturday at the State House, Abuja, received the Madagascan native formulation against the Covid-19 pandemic, and reiterated that he will listen to science before allowing traditional or any new medicines to be administered on Nigerians.<\/p>\n
At an audience meeting with President Umaro Sissoco Embalo of Guinea Bissau who brought along with him the samples of the traditional medicine as shared to African nations by Madagascar, President Buhari said his position on all such herbal or traditional medicinal postulates had remained the same.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have our institutions, systems and processes in the country. Any such formulations should be sent to them for verification. I will not put it to use without the endorsement of our institutions,\u201d said the Nigerian President.<\/p>\n
On the main reason for his visit, President Embalo said having stabilized his country after the tussles that attended the general elections won by him, he had come to seek counsel from his \u201cfather,\u201d President Buhari on his plan for a \u201cgovernment of national unity\u201d and a proposed war against corruption in his country.<\/p>\n
He also said that his new government met a country beset with a number of issues and problems, the resolution of which would require tremendous assistance from the \u201cbig brother,\u201d Nigeria.<\/p>\n
\u201cProblems of Guinea Bissau are problems of Nigeria. I have come to you as your son. I need your help and assistance to make the people happy. I will not let you down, neither will I put you in any difficult situation,\u201d the visiting leader told President Buhari.<\/p>\n
In response to these demands, the Nigerian leader commended \u201cGeneral\u201c Embalo on his confirmation as President and for stabilizing the country. \u201cI commend your political dexterity in getting the opposition to join the proposed unity government,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
President Buhari restated the determination of Nigeria to keep West Africa politically stable and promised to support the new government in Guinea Bissau. \u201cI will cooperate and help in every way possible,\u201d assured the Nigerian President.<\/p>\n
President Buhari also used the opportunity of the visit to praise the good work that the President of Niger Republic, Mahamadou Issoufou, who is the current Chairman of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) is doing in the sub-region, and commended him for keeping him informed of all that is happening around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
