The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), has said that Africa’s growth and development will require strong, visionary leadership that caters to the people’s needs and effectively strengthens institutions that encourage peaceful co-existence while providing disincentives to conflicts and coups.

Buhari said this on Sunday in Addis Ababa, at a meeting with the Ethiopian Prime Minister, Abiy Ahmed, at the headquarters of the African Union.

The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday titled, ‘Africa needs stronger, better leadership to grow, President Buhari, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed agree at AU meeting.’

The President commended Ahmed’s efforts in maintaining peace and unity in the country.

He said, “You are leading a country that is large and diversified, just like Nigeria, and I know the sacrifices required to make the desired impact, especially in maintaining peace.”

He urged the Ethiopian leader to stay focused on keeping the country together, in spite of the difficulties, assuring him that Nigeria will continue to support efforts in peaceful co-existence and unity.

Buhari, who said Ahmed had provided strong leadership for the country, encouraged him to sustain the good work in ensuring even development.

In his remarks, the Prime Minister thanked the President for support to the country over the years, on national and personal endeavours, particularly in encouraging unity and stability.

Ahmed noted that Africa had experienced slow growth due to conflicts, adding that the larger economies like Nigeria and Ethiopia should provide the leadership that will deepen progress and prosperity on the continent.

The Prime Minister said the resurgence of coups on the continent could further weaken institutions and reverse the democratic.

He also appreciated Buhari for his position on zero tolerance for military interference in governance, saying collective and visionary leadership will move Africa forward.

Yes! Tinubu fits the bill in Nigeria. He has proven beyond reasonable doubt that he is a visionary leader in Lagos. After 22 years that he first became the governor of Lagos, the state continue to make positive trajectory unequalled in other states of the federation.

As a matter of fact, Lagos now competes with sovereign nations of Africa in terms of GDP and economic progress. If he became Nigeria president, he would galvanize other African countries towards economic stability and progress. We really need visionary leaders in this our underachieving continent.

To tilumbu boy above somebody that couldn't spot a good leader for president can not be a good leader

Maybe he should keep his leadership to Yoruba land because he sucks at it nationally

Truth and logic table

Amaechi dey gidigba

We in South west now have trains we never imagined because of his visionary leadership in the transport ministry

How visionary are you sir?
charity, they say begins at home.
The way you have been trying to revive cattle routes and encourage open grazing in this 21st century shows that you also lack vision sir.

Thanks for accepting the fact that nearly every African leaders lack vision most especially you.

I searched through the post and never saw where Buhari stated the word 'visionary'. He spoke about strong leadership which we all know he isn't providing in Nigeria; and even that statement seems to have been made by RudeAdesina.

It was the Ethiopian guy who spoke about visionary leadership. How visionary is that one's leadership by the way?

Sure.....this is where the likes of Peter Obi, Prof Zulum, Umahi, Soludo should come in.

i will say a jagaban slash rotimi ameachi as vp presidency will turn this country around. those 2 are the most visionary men in nigeria

vote for the wining team JAGABAN / ROTIMI AMEACHI

Is Buhari a strong visionary leader?

After reading one book called Dictators handbook, I have never viewed the world the same.

I now know that one person alone cannot lead, no matter how powerful they portray themselves. They need the critical support of some strong men.

Even ordinary local government chairman cannot govern alone, he needs like few stong men to acknowledge his power, if not hé would just be a powerless bulldog,

That is why 5 people with gun can control 300 people without gun, if you incentivize them well, thése 5 people will work for you,

That is why huge expenditure goes to the military instead of the education sector.

Buhari can rule for 8 tenure self, if he has the critical support of his few key supporters.

Thank God he knows that he is clueless... His Excellency, The executive governor of River State, Chief, Barr, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, Con, PoS Africa, is the only way and the only man with good vision for Nigeria... 2023 is the code Amen...

Yes sir indeed. Not corrupt druggies who order massacre at toll gates like Lekki and deny it
Not corrupt junkies who see bandits sending his people as refugees internationally yet deny it.

Amaechi Zulum 2023

It's turn of the Igbo and we the southsouth stand behind the right of an Igbo presidency!!!

Our son, crowned prince
Romtimi Chibuike Amaechi GCON will run for president as endorsed by his excellency Mohammadu Buhari GCFR.

Amaechi Zulum 2023

shatap there joor.

Vision less bigot.

See person wey dey talk
Na negative vision this dullard mean
Since hin don succeed to actualize hin negative vision for Nigeria finish why him no go talk

Ameachi vs Osinbajo are visionary leaders I guess to Mr president.

I am not sure whether Buhari actually understands the things that he says. if he means this statement i expect him to tender his resignation immediately he returns to this country. The man is the most backward terrorist alive.

Those who destroy, then present themselves as the solution, are they also visionary leaders?

One ousted a democratic government which later resulted in a series of catastrophic dictators, then many years later, he presented himself as the solution

One imposed a catastrophic government on the people for 8 years, then presents himself as the solution

How can vision less person know a leader with vision?

Spell Buhari!!!!! ⚓

Are you a visionary leader So how do you identify such a person

See who dey talk.

Says a complete failure that I mistakenly voted for

but wetin do apc eyes they are blind to poverty in Nigeria
