The Commonwealth scribe had paid a courtesy visit to President Buhari after attending the signing of the Peace Accord at the International Conference Centre. The President, who reiterated the determination of his administration to organise credible elections, said: “One Nigeria is non-negotiable.’’He noted that “over two million people died in the civil war we fought, and when people elect their own government through a free and fair process, they have more confidence in such government.
