…tasks him on dividends of democracy

Abuja – The European Union (EU) on Saturday
urged the President-elect, retired Maj.-Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari to ensure that Nigerians
enjoyed the democracy dividends.

The EU Ambassador to Nigeria and ECOWAS, Mr
Michel Arrion, made the call at the Europe Day
2015 in Abuja.

Arrion explained that democracy meant nothing to
the common man except it led to the improvement
in their standards of living.

“But democracy only makes meaning to the
common man to the extent that it delivers good
governance, creates opportunities and improves
the quality of living.

“Nigeria is rich, but Nigerians are poor. The
incoming administration will have a lot to do in this
regard.

“It must ensure that Nigeria’s massive population
is galvanised into a formidable productive force
that will generate wealth that is equally or rather
equitably shared among all citizens,” he said.
According to Arrion, as the new government
comes on stream, the world will want to see a
Nigeria with the basic freedoms that distinguish
democratic societies.

“The government must ensure that the basic
freedoms including economic rights and welfare
are not the exclusive preserve of a privileged
few.

The EU envoy reminded Buhari of his promises
before and after his election to pursue three
priority objectives.

He said the first objective set by the President-
elect was “to swiftly end the insurgency in the
North East and restore peace and stability.
According to him, the second is to eradicate
corruption, while the third is to put policies in
place to put Nigeria’s economy on a proper
footing.

He said that these goals set for the incoming
government match closely the European Union’s
vision for the country.

“Let me add a fourth objective that is very
important for the European Union: regional
integration,” he said.

Arrion said the EU strongly believed that peace
and stability, as well as the economic development
of Nigeria were achievable.

According to him, they will be better achieved
within the framework of a closer and deeper co-
operation of Nigeria with its neighbours in West
and Central Africa.

“It is in that global context that the partnership
between Nigeria and the EU is taking place.
“I am delighted to state that Nigeria and EU do
share very strong relations of mutual trust and
partnership.

“And I am very happy to confirm the excellent
quality of our local political and policy dialogue
between the 21 European Ambassadors and High
Commissioner and the Government of Nigeria.”

He commended Nigeria and Nigerians for the
success of the general elections, saying the last
three months were very special for Nigerian
citizens.

“We are happy that Nigeria has got it right, and
look forward to other African countries following
its good example,” he said.

The EU envoy commended outgoing President
Goodluck Jonathan for gracefully “accepting the
outcome of the election so that his country can
move on.”
