His words "The idea of peaceful living is an ideal from which I drew strength and inspiration as a public servant in my country. It is the philosophy to which I have committed myself since leaving office as President of Nigeria in 2015.

"Promoting peace and supporting efforts toward consolidating democracy in Africa is a commitment to which I will continue to apply my time.



"My approach to this cause is to continue to work with all well-meaning citizens of the world who share the view that the people’s happiness derives from a culture of good governance.

"Such happiness and the attendant sense of belonging comes principally from the citizen’s confidence in those who govern and how they govern.
