Nigeria’s Senate President, Godswill Akpabio has called for deeper collaborations between Nigeria and the United States of America (USA).
The Senate President made the call while addressing a delegation from the American Embassy in Nigeria to him, led by the chargé d’affaires, David Greene.
Hailing the USA in entrenching democracy and democratic values across the world, he however acknowledged that the task sometimes require Americans to pay the ultimate price.
He urged the American government not to get tired in its role as big brother, noting that the world needs a guiding hand from its oldest democracy.
“I am a believer in the American democracy and I ask that you continue to offer assistance to Nigeria and other countries as we walk our way up the ladder of democracy,” he stated.
Stating that his team is seeking collaborative efforts with the Nigerian Senate on multiple fronts, Mr Green Haas this to say: “We come here today to pay a courtesy call on the senate president to congratulate him and also hope that we can find ways to work together for the collective good for the Nigerian people.”
The visit therefore ended with the exchange of souvenirs by the host and the visitors.
