President Buhari Jets Off To Attend The G7 Summit In Germany

President Muhammadu Buhari is on his way to Germany to attend the G7 Summit. According to a statement released by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, yesterday Saturday, June 6th.

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 presidential spokesman said;

“The invitation is a clear indication of the international community’s willingness to cooperate with the new government of Nigeria,”

He, however, explained that president Buhari would not be participating in the main meetings, since Nigeria is not a member of the G7 group.

He also added that “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.”
