Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama has said that the President of Benin Republic, Patrice Talon had communicated the status of his nation to turn into Nigeria’s 37th state.
Talking after a nearby entryway meeting with Beninoise Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation Aurélien Agbenonci, Onyeama said the Beninoise president made the offer when he visited President Muhammadu Buhari for half a month back.
He said;
“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.”
Onyeama further uncovered that the two presidents likewise talked about arrangements between the two nations to put the issue of pirating to an end unequivocally.
