President Buhari Congratulates Antonio Guterres, New UN Secretary-general by mynaijainfo(m): 12:53pm On Oct 14, 2016
President Muhammadu Buhari congratulates Antonio Guterres on his appointment by the United Nations General Assembly as the next UN Secretary General, beginning from January 1, 2017.President Buhari believes that Guterres’ wealth of experience as a former Prime Minister of Portugal, head of UN Refugee Agency for several years, diplomat and a politician of repute, eminently prepared and qualified him for the new position.

As a committed member of the United Nations, President Buhari avers that, Nigeria looks forward to working and supporting Guterres to address the world’s most pressing challenges - from defeating terrorism and violent extremism for a peaceful and prosperous future to reducing poverty and tackling the devastating effects of climate change; as well as confronting the root causes of migrants and refugee crisis.

The President strongly believes that for the UN to remain relevant in the 21st century, the new UN Secretary-General must redouble efforts and spearhead essential reforms of the world body to enable it effectively address current global challenges.

President Buhari also congratulates the outgoing UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon on his successful tenure and dedicated service to humanity.

The President notes that the world indeed owes a debt of gratitude to the outgoing Secretary-General for spearheading the Sustainable Development Goals and achieving the historic Paris Agreement on Climate Change, among other laudable achievements.

President Buhari acknowledges the roles played by the UN and its agencies in strengthening democracy, good governance and stability in Nigeria, under the leadership of Ban Ki-Moon.

The President, while wishing the outgoing Secretary-General well in his future endeavours, extends his goodwill to the new Secretary-General.

On 5 October, the 15-member United Nations Security Council announced that they had agreed to nominate Guterres, after an informal secret ballot in which he gained 13 encourage votes and two no opinion votes.[11][12] The UNSC officially nominated Guterres by adopting a formal resolution on 6 October, and a week later he was elected by the United Nations General Assembly on the seventy-first session. Guterres is expected to take office on 1 January 2017.[13]

Ban Ki Moon's tenure was totally uneventful. He failed to stand for anything and was just too diplomatic for my liking.

Past UN Secretary-Generals really accomplished a lot like:

Halting the Spread of Epidemics
Promoting Women’s Rights
Fighting Hunger
Reducing Child Mortality
Alleviating Rural Poverty in Developing Countries
Wiping Out Polio iin 120 counties
Protecting Consumers’ Health
Responding to HIV/AIDS
Combating Terrorism
Containing the World Drug Problem

I pray Mr Antonio has an inbuilt Courage not to join the ongoing political favouritism iin the Union but tame terrorism esp Syria...
