President
Muhammadu Buhari has described the resignation of British Prime Minister David
Cameron, which will come into effect in October as a demonstration of courage.
According
to a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu,
the President said Nigeria has enjoyed remarkable goodwill, support and
understanding under the leadership of the outgoing Prime Minister over the
years.
“Nigeria
has enjoyed remarkable goodwill, support and understanding under the capable
leadership of the outgoing Prime Minister over the years, the statement said.
“Cameron’s
resignation in response to the outcome of a referendum that supported Britain
to leave the European Union is a demonstration of courage by a democratic
leader who respects the will of the people, even if he didn’t agree with their
decision.
“By
‘putting the will of the people before his political future, the Prime Minister
proved himself to be a selfless leader with respect for democracy and voter
sovereignty,’’ he further stated on the statement.
