The Nigerian President stated this in a congratulatory message to the Prime Minister of Israel, Mr Benjamin Netanyahu, on his victory in the country’s parliamentary election.
“President Buhari extends best wishes to the people of the State of Israel in the aftermath of the successful conclusion of the poll, and wishes them peace, progress and stability going forward,” a Presidency statement issued in Abuja by Buhari’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mr Garba Shehu, said.
It added that all existing relations between Nigeria and Israel would be strengthened for more benefits to both sides.
“The Nigerian leader looks forward to continue to work with the Israeli Prime Minister to strengthen existing cordial and mutually-beneficial relations between the two countries.
“President Buhari wishes Prime Minister Netanyahu a successful new term in office and prays that his record fifth term will bring enduring peace and security to the Middle East,” it stated further.
