While in Addis Ababa, President Buhari is expected to deliver a goodwill message at the inauguration event scheduled to hold at Meskel Square. He will also attend a State Dinner at the National Defence Headquarters.

Buhari will join other African leaders, who will attend the event in person, including the Presidents of Djibouti, Kenya, South Sudan, Senegal, Somalia, Uganda and the Prime Minister of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Reacting on his Facebook page, Buhari’s personal assistant on new media, Bashir Ahmad, gushed about the respect and honour the Nigerian leader elicits from other African leaders.

He wrote; “The respect most of African leaders have for President Buhari is second to none, the Ethiopian Prime Minister today after receiving the President at the Airport also offered to personally drive him to where he’d be staying in Addis Ababa.”
