“On behalf of the Government and people of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I congratulate you most sincerely on your re-election as the President of the Peoples Republic of China.

“Your re-election is an indication of the trust and confidence reposed in you by the people of China on your ability to bring your vision and wisdom to bear in the conduct of national and global affairs,” he said.

President Buhari also looked forward to increased cooperation between China and Nigeria on one hand and China and Africa on the other hand.

He said: “It is my firm belief that your re-election will also bolster the existing mutually benefiting partnership between the Peoples Republic of China and Nigeria.

“I look forward to meeting Your Excellency at the forthcoming Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) Beijing Summit in September 2018.

I am confident that it will be a great success and good opportunity to draw up new levels of partnership between Africa and China.’’

In a previous report by NAIJ.com, the Chinese president, Xi Jinping, is poised to remain president for life and further cement his grip on power after the Communist Party unveiled plans to scrap the presidency’s two-term limit.

This was reported by China’s official news agency, Xinhua, on Sunday, February 25. This new development paves the way for Xi to remain in power well into the next decade and perhaps even beyond.

The report said the Communist party’s 205-member central committee had proposed China’s constitution be modified so that it no longer contains a section stipulating that the president and vice president “shall serve no more than two consecutive [five-year] terms”.
