President Bola Tinubu has praised the Finnish government following the arrest and detention of Simon Ekpa.

Tinubu reiterated that his government will not tolerate actions and statements that could incite division among citizens.

The President gave his commendation to the Finnish government while receiving Letters of Credence from the Finnish Ambassador to Nigeria, Sanna Selin, at the State House, Abuja, on Friday.

Tinubu said, “I must thank you for your record on safeguarding human rights in our country with the trial of Simon Ekpa. Nigeria is indivisible. We have been through turbulent times, and we don’t want to promote terrorism.

“I am a child born into activism, but not divisiveness. We need cohesion and cooperation to bring about development. Our watchword is stability and cohesion to move the country forward.

“The National Security Adviser, Malam Nuhu Ribadu, has informed me. I know what the rule of law means. The rule of law safeguards our democratic credentials, morals and values. We must respect the rule of law.”

President Tinubu also received Letters of Credence from the Ambassador of the European Union, Mr Gautier Mignot, and the Ambassador of the People’s Republic of Algeria, Hocine Mezoued.
