President Muhammadu Buhari arrived Addis Ababa, the Ethiopian Capital this evening and was welcomed by the country’s Prime Minister.
Nigeria’s President is expected to attend the inauguration of the Prime Minister, Abiy Ahmed Ali for a second 5-year term in office on Monday.
Buhari departed Abuja on Sunday and is scheduled to deliver a goodwill message at the inauguration ceremony.
