United States President, Joe Biden, has described President Muhammadu Buhari as a model of democracy in Africa.
Speaking on Wednesday, December 14, at the US-Africa Leaders Summit in Washington, Biden praised Buhari for his efforts in deepening democracy not only in Nigeria, but also in Africa.
According to a statement by presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu, the US President said he had followed the trajectory of the Nigerian leader since 2015 when he was elected President from being an opposition leader at a time he (Biden) was a Vice President.
He added that it was very heartening that Nigeria is quite a model for democracy, especially the fact that President Buhari is not seeking a third term.
President Biden, therefore, encouraged President Buhari and the Nigerian electoral umpire to continue to be totally non-partisan.m
