President Muhammadu Buhari has accepted his nomination as the leader of the ‘2018 AU Theme on the Fight Against Corruption’.

The President was nominated on July 4 by African leaders at the 29th Session of the Assembly of Heads of State and Government of the African Union in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina, in a statement on Tuesday disclosed that President Buhari has accepted the nomination.

He said the acceptance was contained in an appreciation letter addressed to the President of Guinea and Chairman of the Assemblies of Heads of State and Government of the African Union, Alpha Conde.

“I wish to express my readiness to accept this new important role and to reiterate my commitment to contribute towards our collective efforts to strengthen good governance and development on the continent.

“I, therefore, look forward to working closely with you in the realisation of this objective,” President Buhari said.
