Israel has promised to assist Nigeria in
fighting corruption and terrorism and also help
to develop the the agriculture sector. This is
contained in a statement issued by Mallam
Garba Shehu, Director, Media and Publicity,
APC Presidential Campaign Organisation, on
Monday in Abuja.
The statement said the pledge was contained
in a congratulatory letter signed by the Israeli
President, Reuven Rivlin, to the President-
elect, retired Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari.
“The two countries face similar dangers and
challenges in the daily struggle against those
who wanted to terrorise their citizens.
“The latest news regarding the Boko Haram-
ISIS alliance underscores the need for like-
minded countries to unite in the fight against
such radical terrorist organisations. “I assure
you that in this important campaign, Israel
stands shoulder-to-shoulder with Nigeria,’’
the statement quoted the Israeli leader as
saying.
It expressed the hope that under Buhari’s
leadership, the ties between both countries
would become stronger. ”I wish you every
success in the challenging task ahead and
trust that under your presidency, the
relationship, friendship and cooperation
between Nigeria and Israel will continue to
expand and strengthen,’’ it said.http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/04/israel-pledges-to-support-nigeria-fight-boko-haram-corruption/
