In a statement on Friday by his spokesman, Garba Shehu, President Buhari emphasised that 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”.
Mr Cameron had earlier announcedhis resignationin response to the outcome of a referendum that supported Britain to leave the European Union, a position he was not in support of.
President Buhari, however, expressed regrets over Mr Cameron’s resignation which will take effect in October.
He pointed out that Nigeria had enjoyed remarkable goodwill, support and understanding under the capable leadership of the outgoing Prime Minister over the years.
The Nigerian leader also expressed hope that Nigeria would get greater cooperation and consolidation of shared interests with Britain, despite the outcome of the referendum.
