President
Muhammadu Buhari left Nigeria today, to attend the G7 Summit that is scheduled
to take place in Bavaria, Germany, from June 7 to 8 . A statement
issued in Abuja on Saturday, by Garba Shehu, the Senior Special Assistant to
the President on Media and Publicity, said the invitation was extended to
President Buhari by the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, even before he was
sworn in on May 29 as the President of Nigeria.
“The
invitation is a clear indication of the international community’s willingness
to cooperate with the new government of Nigeria,” the statement said. He added
that President Buhari would not be participating in the main meetings, since
Nigeria is not a member of the G7 group.

“He is in a
group of seven other Heads of State who were called in as guests. He will
equally be holding key side meetings with some of the seven Heads of State who
will be convened at the summit.
“The
international community is obviously acknowledging Nigeria’s significant role
in global affairs,” the statement said, adding “especially with the recent
change in government.”
