The President Muhammadu Buhari-led federal government says Benin Republic has shown interest to join the country.
According the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, the Beninoise President, Patrice Talon, expressed his country’s readiness to be part of Nigeria, a few weeks back when he visited President Muhammadu Buhari.
He started; “The President of Benin said as far as they are concerned, they want (not just saying it like that) but in reality, Benin should be the 37th state of Nigeria.
“We should really be one. They charged us to come together at ministerial level, to work out a framework for a sustainable relationship.”
He also disclosed that at the visit, both presidents discussed agreements between the two countries on how to put the issue of smuggling to an end, once and for all, as a follow up to the presidents’ meeting.
Onyeama stated this shortly after a close door meeting with Beninoise Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, Aurélien Agbenonci, on Friday.
