“The gesture is to demonstrate to the people of Burkina Faso that Nigeria is solidly behind them,” he said.

The permanent secretary said the gesture was also to demonstrate Nigeria’s support and to let the Burkinabes know that democracy remained the key to stability in any country.

“No matter how difficult it is, democracy brings the expression and the will of the people to bear ingovernance.

“If it worked in Nigeria, it can work in Burkina Faso,” Lolo said and appealed to stakeholders in the elections to eschew violence and work for its successful conduct.

“It is important to include all the stakeholders, respect the rule of law, allow the electorate to cast their votes and let the votes count.
“All these will lead to the success of the
elections,” he added.

Receiving the vehicles, Kere commended
Nigeria for the gesture, stressing that the
vehicles came at the right time.

Kere, who said that Nigeria was the first and
the only African country to assist his country in the conduct of the polls, pledged judicious use of the vehicles.

“We appreciate the solidarity and support by

Did Buhari make the pledge in March?

Obiagelli:

Did Buhari make the pledge in March?

Why didn't he deny the pledge like he has denied the Free meal per day program for primary school pupils?

He who has a Tree in his eyes shouldn't remove a leaf in another person's eyes.

Make sense. We are now playing the big brother

Hmmm I hope this is not true and just another media propaganda because Naija has more than enough problems to sort out that need money, so we can't be giving to others when our own don't have. There are thousands of unemployed graduates walking the streets n if part of the monetary equivalent of those cars are given to some of the unemployed, they can use it to start a little biz.

Charity they say begins at home.

Playing the worthless big brother as usual
