Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari has reacted to the resignation of David Cameron as British Prime Minister earlier today.
Cameron announced his resignation earlier today after Britain voted to quit the European Union.
In a statement by his spokesman, Garba Shehu, Buhari said he regretted the resignation of British Prime Minister David Cameron, which will come into effect in October.
According to Buhari Nigeria has enjoyed remarkable goodwill, support and understanding under the capable leadership of the outgoing Prime Minister over the years.
The President said Cameron’s resignation in response to the outcome of a referendum that supported Britain to leave the European Union “was a demonstration of courage by a democratic leader who respects the will of the people, even if he didn’t agree with their decision.”
By "putting the will of the people before his political future, the Prime Minister proved himself to be a selfless leader with respect for democracy and voter sovereignty," Buhari said.
He expressed hope that Nigeria looks forward to greater cooperation and consolidation of shared interests with Britain, despite the outcome of the referendum.
