President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed shock and sadness over the death of 13 French soldiers in Mali on Tuesday.

They died after a helicopter accident during an operation against terrorists in the country.

Reacting to the incident, Buhari in a statement signed by his Senior Special Assistant on Media & Publicity, Garba Shehu and forwarded to DAILY POST said: “I am deeply saddened by the news of this helicopter accident that claimed the lives of 13 French soldiers during an operation against the terrorists in the country.”

He noted that the incident is of significance to Nigeria because France is a major international partner in the war against terrorism.

“We recognise France’s extensive experience in the war on terror and their assistance to African countries, including Nigeria, to tackle terrorism that poses the greatest security threat to the affected countries.

“Terrorism is a global problem that demands international cooperation, and I praise the efforts of the French government in assisting us in confronting this monster,” he said.

Buhari further called on the French government not to allow this unfortunate incident to dampen its enthusiasm in terms of its active support towards fighting terrorism in Africa.

“On behalf of my government and the people of Nigeria, I extend our heartfelt condolences and prayers to the families of these patriotic soldiers that died in the line of duty. May their souls rest in peace”, he added.

Lalasticlala

always value the dearth of foreigners than his

so bad.. we love you Mr.president

So Sad

Has he ever reacted.to the death of any Nigerian? Reactor. Na chemical the man be?

He reacts each time security agents die while fighting terrorism but too sad to react when a terrorist is killed.

Still waiting for his commendation to the US for the extermination of Abubakar Baghdadi.

Buhari reacts?
I hate lies.....

Too bad

Abacha was more sensible than this man Buhari.

But he Doe's not care about soldiers that died fighting against book haram,his brethren and kinsmen

He doesn't care about the one DAT died earlier this week when their vehicle climbed land mine


Is this also a hate speech

Baba sympathetic to foreigners than his

Buhari never says or reacts to anything. His aids and the cabal do. Not sure he knows whatever is happening around him.

This is the only president in the whole world where the country only hears him daily in REPORTED SPEECH.

Hardly would anyone see him speak to Nigerians.

We need the cabal to prove that Buhari is still buhari by allowing him to speak daily to our hearing and not in REPORTED SPEECH.

At least, let's hear him speak/react after every news report.

This is unacceptable and never done anywhere in the sane world.

You Sir are one of the few SANE Nigerians still alive and breathing. Welcome to the club of realest guys. 99.9% of Nigerians today are so battered and shattered that they no longer know what sanity is or no.
