President Buhari Back From 3-day Germany Trip

President Muhammadu Bu­hari is back in Nigeria after a three-day official visit to Germany, where he met with Ni­gerians in diaspora, in Berlin the German capital.
Buhari, who praised repre­sentatives of the Nigerian com­munity, said that his administra­tion is greatly encouraged by their uncommon support in the fight against corruption, as well as in­itiatives aimed at stimulating the economy.
Earlier on the trip, the Pres­ident had met with the Ger­man Chancellor, Angela Merkel and the President of Germany, Joachim Gauck.

While addressing the Ger­man-Nigeria Business Forum, President Buhari called on Ger­man businessmen to explore dif­ferent sectors of Nigeria’s econo­my that are yet to open up.
He also hinted about the new bank, Development Bank of Ni­geria, which would soon begin operations in order to strength­en the government’s economic di­versification programme
The visit ended on a compas­sionate note on Saturday, as the President, with his convoy went to visit a Nigerian military offic­er who survived a ghastly road ac­cident and is currently receiving treatment in a Berlin hospital.
He was accompanied on the trip by the Governor of Borno, Kashim Shettima, and Rochas Okorocha of Imo state.
While President Buhari was away on his official trip, his wife, Mrs Aisha Buhari raised concerns over the president’s appointees.
In an interview with BBC she warned her husband that she will not back him at the next election unless he considers rejigging the make-up of his appointees.
Meanwhile, Mr. Buhari in reaction to this laughed off the comments saying “I don’t know which party my wife belongs to, but she belongs to my kitch­en and my living room, and the other room”.
The matter has since elicit­ed various opinions from people who believe it was an honest ex­pression from Mrs. Buhari, meant to galvanise President Buhari into retracing his steps, while others are shocked that such remarks are coming from her.
