President Muhammadu Buhari is currently hosting the Prime Minister of the Libyan Government of National Unity, Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh, in the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
After receiving the chairman, Presidential Council of Libya, Mohammed Younis Menfi, at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Wednesday, Buhari said whatever affects Libya will have an impact on Nigeria and other countries in the Lake Chad Basin area.
He said, “Republics of Chad, and Niger, have extensive borders with Libya, and they are our immediate neighbours. Whatever affects them affects us. The stability or instability of Libya will directly affect us.”
He stressed that the security of Nigeria was the number one priority to him, noting that “unless a country or institution is secured, there’s no way you can efficiently manage it.”
The Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, made this known in a statement, titled ‘ Why Stability Of Libya Matters To Us, By President Buhari.’
