Tinubu commends Obasanjo for securing truce in Ethiopia

Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, has commended and congratulated former President Olusegun Obasanjo for securing a truce in the Ethiopia crisis.

The 85-year-old Obasanjo, on Wednesday, November 2, secured a surprising win in hostile Ethiopia.

The former Nigerian president and head of state led the team that announced a cessation of hostilities in Ethiopia.

The diplomatic breakthrough would end the conflict that has killed thousands and displaced millions of people while leaving many to starve.

But Tinubu, in a statement on his verified Twitter on Thursday, November 3, commended the statesmanship of the retired general for stabilizing the African continent.

Tinubu hailed the former head of state for his successful diplomatic mission in Ethiopia, his mediation, and his securing a peace treaty.

His statement reads in part:

“It is hoped that the process results, ultimately, in the permanent resolution of the conflict and a full commitment to the cause of unity, restoration, and development.”
