I am making good progress – President Buhari
President Muhammadu Buhari
has written to thank the President of Guinea, Alpha Conde, for the nationwide
prayers held last week by Guineans for his recovery and good health.
In a letter dated July 24,
2017, President Buhari, who had earlier made a phone call to Conde, who is the
current Chairman of the Assemblies of Heads of State and Government of the
African Union, stated:
"I thank you for your
kind and thoughtful action in organizing nationwide prayers for my good health.
It is a gesture that I will forever cherish and treasure.
"Your Excellency will
be pleased to hear that I am making good progress, and as soon as doctors
advise, I shall return to my duties and continue serving the Nigerian people
who elected me and are daily praying for my recovery."
In an earlier letter,
President Buhari had also accepted his nomination as leader of the "2018
AU Theme on the Fight Against Corruption", which came from African leaders
at the 29th Session of the Assembly of Heads of State and Government of the AU
in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on July 4, 2017.
"While thanking you for
the kind words and for the nomination," the President wrote to Conde,
"I wish to express my readiness to accept this new important role and to
reiterate my commitment to contribute towards our collective efforts to
strengthen good governance and development on the continent.
I, therefore, look forward
to working closely with you in the realization of this objective."
