Buhari Says Nigeria a Member of Islamic Coalition against Terror

In a dramatic u-turn, President Muhammadu Buhari, who had earlier claimed to have turned down an invitation to join the Islamic Coalition against Terrorism put together by Saudi Arabia, has told Al Jazeera that Nigeria is in the coalition‎. He made the disclosure during an exclusive interview with Aljazeera which was broadcast at the weekend. He had been asked whether Nigeria was part of it and he answered: “We are part of it because we’ve got terrorists in Nigeria that everybody knows which claim that they are Islamic. “So, if there’s an Islamic coalition to fight terrorism, Nigeria will be part of it because we are casualties of Islamic terrorism.” Asked whether he had suggested Nigeria’s membership of the coalition during his meeting with King Salman Bin Abdul-Aziz during their meeting in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia recently, Buhari said: “Yes.” Asked to explain how such coalition would work for Nigeria, he said he could not disclose the details to the media.

Asked if the world’s biggest supplier Saudi Arabia and policies of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries had hit smaller producers, Buhari told Al-Jazeera English OPEC had to “act together to save the situation”. Countries, including Nigeria, “have to live by” market forces, he said, ruling out a Nigerian withdrawal from the body. But he added: “OPEC as an organisation has to be mindful of economic conditi...
