Buhari leaves for G7 summit in Germany
President Muhammadu Buhari will leave Nigeria
on Sunday morning for Germany.
According to a statement on Saturday by his
Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity,
Garba Shehu, the President will be traveling to
Germany to attend the G7 Summit that is
scheduled to take place in Bavaria from June 7 to
8, 2015.
Shehu said invitation to the summit was extended
to Buhari by German Chancellor, Angela Merkel,
before he was inaugurated as President on May
29.
“The invitation is a clear indication of the
international community’s willingness to
cooperate with the new government of Nigeria,”
the presidential spokesman said.
He, however, explained that Buhari would not be
participating in the main meetings, since Nigeria is
not a member of the G7 group.
He added, “He (Buhari) is in a group of seven
other Heads of State who were called in as
guests.
“He will equally be holding key side meetings with
some of the seven Heads of State at the summit.
