Apparently worried by the brewing crisis in Guinea Bissau,
President, Muhammadu Buhari, has sent former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, as
his Special Envoy, to mediate and help find a solution to current challenge of
the West African nation.
Following the dismissal of Guinea Bissau’s
Prime Minister, Mr Domingos Simoes Pereira and his cabinet by President Jose
Mario Vaz, President Buhari had raised concern over the unfolding political
situation in the country.
According to a statement by the Special
Adviser on Media and Publicity to President Buhari, Femi Adesina, former
President Obasanjo embarked on the first leg of his mission by consulting with
the current Chairman of the Economic Community of West African States Authority
of Heads of State and Government, President Macky Sall of Senegal in Dakar on
Thursday.
“It is regrettable that while Chief Obasanjo
was still consulting with President Sall, President Jose Mario Vaz of Guinea
Bissau proceeded to appoint and swear-in a new Prime Minister in the person of
Mr Baciro Dja, a development that has worsened the political situation in his
country,” President Buhari said.
