Martins Schultz, the President of the European Parliament, minced no words in describing why Europe is enamoured of our President, Muahmmadu Buhari, so much as to give him the honour of addressing the continent’s legislative arm.
The big endorsement President Buhari got is on account of the outstanding wars he has waged so far on corruption and terrorism, wars that have been described as templates for Africa and the rest of the world. Increasingly, he is admired for delivering good governance humbly and honestly.
This given opportunity, as many have noted, was the first time a Nigerian President – and the second African – had addressed the EU parliament.
In his opening remarks, President Buhari did not miss the opportunity of acknowledging this recognition. “I am honoured and humbled by my choice to address this occasion,” he told his receptive audience.
