The President of the United States of America, Joe Biden, has extended an invitation for discussion to President Bola Tinubu.

According to a statement by the Special Adviser to President Tinubu on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, the US Presidential Envoy & Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, Ambassador Molly Phee, disclosed this when he visited the Nigerian leader on Saturday.

Phee was quoted to have told President Tinubu that President Biden has requested to meet him on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York City to advance discussions further in late September.

The American envoy noted that Tinubu is the only African leader the US President has honoured with such invitation.

“We know there is more we can do to incentivize large-scale American investment in Nigeria and we are committed to working closely with you to achieve that, as part of efforts to strengthen the Nigerian economy and the regional economy.

“We appreciate your willingness to create an enabling environment for that. President Joe Biden is asking to meet with you on the sidelines of UNGA and you are the only African leader he has requested to meet. It is a mark of his high regard for your leadership,” the U.S. Special Envoy said.

Tinubu advised Phee to ensure that US policy is intentionally collaborative with independent African democracies at a time when they are under assault by anti-democratic forces within and outside of the continent.

The President noted that American-backed development finance and multilateral institutions, which were designed to support war-torn Europe after World War II, require swift and comprehensive reform to meet the developmental requirements of younger democracies in Africa, which operate in authoritarian-crowded environments, such that the legitimate yearnings of Africans would no longer be manipulated to serve the narrow aims of self-seeking demagogues through unconstitutional takeovers of power.

“Yes, the private sector will lead the way within an enabling environment we create for them, but the U.S. Government must be innovative in its thinking and systematically create incentives for U.S. industrial investment in Nigeria. Under my leadership, Nigeria stands ready to address their specific regulatory, tax and environmental concerns. I am determined to create prosperity for all Nigerian families,” the President declared.

The Nigerian leader affirmed that the crisis in Niger Republic would not deter him from concluding his economic reform programme successfully for the benefit of Nigerians and that he takes a queue from no nation, but will only advance the interest of the Nigerian state in his approach toward ECOWAS’ handling of the regional standoff.

“We are deep in our attempts to peacefully settle the issue in Niger by leveraging on our diplomatic tools. I continue to hold ECOWAS back, despite its readiness for all options, in order to exhaust all other remedial mechanisms. War is not ideal for my economic reforms, nor for the region, but the defense of democracy is sacrosanct. The ECOWAS consensus is that we will not allow anyone to insincerely buy time,” the ECOWAS Chairman affirmed.

Pledging its support for the position of ECOWAS, the US Special Presidential Envoy expressed the high regard the US Administration has for the leadership of the Chairman of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government.

President Tinubu concluded that he accepts the invitation to meet the U.S. President on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly and that the work of perfecting democracy is never done, even in developed democracies, as seen recently in America, as well as other emerging democracies in the world.

Penguin2:
These are the kind of gibberish that I’ve learnt to ignore on Nairaland but I just had to talk here before they move this to front page like they definitely would.

What proof do you have that the guy that made that tweet is an Obidient?

But even if you get proof that he’s Obidient, does his singular opinion represent the opinion of “Obidients”?

Considering how we have seen nefarious elements pretending to be Obidient to type gibberish online in other to implicate obidients, how are we sure this is not one of them?

How are we sure this guy is not non-aligned?

Or are you indirectly saying that everyone on Twitter is Obidient? Are you finally admitting that Obidients are in insurmountable majority?

What's your point exactly

Chief Alade a businessman in Kano has single-handedly constructed a tarred road in his neighborhood of Sabon Gari Kano.

As his name implies “Alade” which means "The owner of the crown” in Yoruba language, we have also crowned him with another crown.
Kano is saying thank you, Chief.
