“Today, I joined President Umaro Embaló of Guinea Bissau and other world leaders to commemorate the country’s 50th Independence in Bissau.
“Nigeria remains committed to supporting peace and democracy not only in Guinea Bissau, but the rest of West Africa, and the world,” the president said in a post on X via @officialABAT on Thursday.
