The nomination took place during the 29th session of the Assembly of Heads of States and Governments of the AU in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on June 4, 2017.

In a statement on Tuesday, Femi Adesina, the Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the President, said Buhari wrote to Alpha Conde, the President of Guinea and expressed his readiness to accept the new AU responsibility “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 realization of this objective,” the letter read.
