Dr Malami Ma\u2019aji, Ambassador At Large of African Region, International Human Rights Commission, has commended the peaceful democratic transition of power to the newly elected governments in Nigeria.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ma\u2019aji, while congratulating President Bola Tinubu and the newly sworn in governors in a statement on Sunday in Abuja, applauded Nigerians, security institutions and all stakeholders, particularly former President Muhammadu Buhari, for ensuring the peaceful transition.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
According to him, the process significantly elevated Nigeria\u2019s status in the community of nations.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cThe main objectives of International Human Rights Commission are to serve humanity irrespective of their differences in religion, region and tribe, as well as struggle against violation of human rights, bloodshed and terrorism in Africa and the world.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cWe provide awareness and educate the governments, legislatures and diplomats, among others, to ensure people\u2019s rights are been respected and also protected,\u201d said the envoy.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He therefore urged Nigerians to embrace peace, unity and love as no nation developed without peaceful coexistence.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
