President Bola Tinubu on Friday expressed appreciation to Finland for its decisive action in the arrest and detention of Biafra agitator, Simon Ekpa, saying it was a vital step in safeguarding Nigeria’s unity and security.
Tinubu made these remarks while receiving the Finnish Ambassador to Nigeria, Ms. Sanna Selin, at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, where she presented her Letters of Credence.
He also commended the Finnish authorities for the timely intervention that safeguarded Nigeria’s integrity and mitigated an action that threatened peaceful coexistence.
“I must thank you for your record on safeguarding human rights in our country with the trial of Simon Ekpa. Nigeria is indivisible.
” We have been through turbulent times, and we don’t want to promote terrorism.
“I am a child born into activism, but not divisiveness.
” We need cohesion and cooperation to bring about development.
” Our watchword is stability and cohesion to move the country forward.
“The National Security Adviser, Malam Nuhu Ribadu, has informed me. I know what the rule of law means.
” The rule of law safeguards our democratic credentials, morals and values.
” We must respect the rule of law,” the president said.
