President Muhammadu Buhari has said that he is taking “a short rest” in London, the United Kingdom.
This was contained in a statement his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, issued on Thursday.
Shehu said that Buhari spoke in a letter he wrote to the King of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, King Abdullah ll Bin Al-Hussein, following the resolution of a recent rift in the royal family.
“While here in London taking a short rest, I was profoundly disturbed to read from international news agencies of attempts to destabilise the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan,” Buhari was quoted saying in the statement titled: ‘President Buhari writes Jordan’s King Abdullah, conveys good wishes and solidarity’.
The statement further read, “Your exemplary leadership since ascending the throne has attracted worldwide admiration.
“Relations between Nigeria and Jordan have been excellent and I thank you for the part you have played in this relationship.
‘‘Your Majesty, I am much heartened that matters have now been resolved and I pray that the Hashemite Kingdom continues to not only remain peaceful but also a major beacon of hope for the region under Your Majesty’s wise guidance.”
