The King of Morocco, King Mohammed VI has congratulated President Muhammadu Buhari on his return to Nigeria.
This was contained in a statement released by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina.
According to Adesina, the Moroccan monarch had a telephone
conversation with Buhari on Thursday, where he also invited him to
Morocco.
The statement read: “His Majesty King Mohammed VI of Morocco has
congratulated President Muhammadu Buhari on his successful return from a
medical vacation in London.
“In a telephone call Thursday, the Moroccan monarch expressed
delight and happiness at the kind of reception Nigerians gave President
Buhari when he returned home. He said it was evidence of a leader widely
loved by his people.
“King Mohammed VI, who had been in Nigeria on a state visit last
December, invited President Buhari to visit Morocco in the same fashion.
“Responding, the Nigerian President thanked the Moroccan monarch
for his congratulatory call, and the growing partnership between the two
countries.
“Earlier today, a Moroccan delegation made of top government
officials had met with senior Nigerian government officials. Both
President Buhari and King Mohammed VI expressed happiness at the success
of the meeting.”
Buhari returned to the country last Friday, after spending almost 50 days in the UK on medical vacation.
