11 Feb Buhari tells diplomats not to Interfere In Internal Politics of the country

President Muhammadu Buhari has again advised diplomats in the country not to interfere in the internal politics of Nigeria as the countdown to the 2023 elections begins.

The President gave the advice Thursday at the State House, Abuja, while presenting Letters of Credence to the Ambassadors of Czech Republic, Zdenek Krejci; Italy, Stephano De Leo; Spain, Juan Ignacio Sell Sanz and Israel, Michael Shual Freeman.

President Buhari, who welcomed the diplomats, counselled them to stay within the limits of their schedules.

“You are assuming your diplomatic responsibilities in Nigeria at a very interesting political period as Nigeria’s national elections are due in early 2023.

“As you settle down in the face of these developments, it is my hope that you will also be guided by diplomatic practice, to ensure that your activities remain within the limits of your profession as you monitor the build-up to and the conduct of the general elections next year,” he said.
