Speaking on Tuesday during a meeting with President of the Republic of Finland, Alexander Stubb, on the sidelines of the ongoing 79th Session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, United States, Shettima said the support has become necessary given Finland’s role as an European and NATO member and considering the role Nigeria has played over the years in entrenching democratic values and peaceful cohesion.

 

“Nigeria has 25 years of uninterrupted democracy. And in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a president with huge democratic credentials and commitment. With him in the saddle, Africa and the larger world would be safe, futuristic, acceptable and more peaceful,” VP Shettima stated.

 

On his part, President Stubb, expressed total support for the expansion and reconstruction of the UN Security Council, saying the dictates and dynamics of the modern world demand such change.

 

He expressed Finland’s continued desire to partner with Nigeria as well as opening new frontiers of development between both countries.

 

In a related development at the meeting between the VP Shettima and the African Union Chairperson, Moussa Faki Mahamat, he stressed the need for consolidation of democracy as well as peaceful collaborations.

 

The Vice President indicated Nigeria’s interest in hosting the African Central Bank, maintaining that Africa has come of age to host one.

 

On his part, the AU chairperson thanked Nigeria for its role in stabilising Africa, adding that the AU will continue to ensure that African stability and peace remain a priority for the body.
