President Muhammadu Buhari and Prime Minister Boris Johnson of Britain, on Thursday, appraised the war against different forms of terrorism in Nigeria, and agreed that the judicial process be allowed to run its course.
Holding bilateral talks on the sidelines of the Global Education Summit in London, the two leaders said it was important that the judicial process runs without interference, no matter who was involved.
President Buhari briefed the Prime Minister on Nigeria’s power needs and efforts being made, as well as initiatives geared at achieving food security.
He also reviewed the security situation in the different regions of the country, while PM Johnson pledged Britain’s preparedness to lend a helping hand.
“We are available to help,” he said.
The two leaders equally discussed how to increase trade between the two countries, develop solar and wind power, leadership of the Commonwealth going forward and other matters of mutual interest.
By interpretation, what the bilateral agreement between the Nigerian and British leaders mean is that, there will be no support, internationally or locally for any Nigerian arrested or re-arrested and who is facing trial currently and, as such, the likes of Nnamdi Kanu and Sunday Igboho may now be left on their own to carry their respective crosses for allowing themselves to wage war against the sovereignty of Nigeria, a respondent asked to respond to the leaders’ meeting said.
