President Buhari said it would be inexcusable for government not to take care of its Ambassadors in their various stations, hence the special attention being paid to the country's foreign missions.

Amb. Ashimiyu Olaniyi, who spoke on behalf of the delegation, said President Buhari's election in 2015, and his recent re-election, are divine interventions in the affairs of the country.

He added that the President would be remembered as an astute political leader who does not interfere in the political affairs of states, noting that the singular quality had given credibility to all elections conducted since 2015.
