President Muhammadu Buhari has extended good wishes to President Xi Jinping and citizens of the People’s Republic of China during this trying time over the spread of coronavirus.
The president said China’s efforts to contain the spread of the coronavirus have been exemplary, as well as the country’s collaboration with international agencies and other countries on the matter.
The president said China has been exceptionally supportive of Nigeria and Africa, and even more so in recent years.
He said it is important to let China know that Nigeria and Nigerians are also standing by them during this outbreak.
He said with all the efforts being put in, it is only a matter of time before this nightmare passes.
The president also thanked Nigerians for their hospitality towards the Chinese nationals in the country, and for not letting the coronavirus outbreak create any disturbance or disrupt the peaceful coexistence between them and the Chinese.
He prayed that God would comfort the Chinese and others who have already lost family members and loved ones to the disease.
