President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday attended the inauguration of President Adama Barrow of The Gambia Republic in Banjul.
Nigeria supported the entrenchment of democracy and good governance in The Gambia following the refusal of Yahya Jammeh the former leader, to surrender power after losing an election and has remained resolute in ensuring that democracy is sustained in the country. Jammeh only agreed to leave after the Nigerian military had made a landing in Banjul, the capital.
The presence of Buhari in Banjul for the event equally underlined the affinity between Nigeria and The Gambia and indicates the value that Nigeria places on the need to strengthen democratic governance, the rule of law and promotion of fundamental human rights in our sub-region.
Also at the inauguration was Liberian President, George Weah and other ECOWAS leaders.
