In a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina, Buhari expressed concern over the political situation in Guinea Bissau following the dismissal of Prime Minister, Domingos Pereira and his cabinet by President Jose Mario Vaz.
The statement maintains that Obasanjo had already been sent to Guinea Bissau on a peace mission to mediate in the crisis brewing in the country.
The statement said that Obasanjo embarked on first leg of the mission on Thursday by consulting with the current Chairman of ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government, President Macky Sall of Senegal in Dakar.
President Buhari appealed for calm and called on the leadership, military in Guinea Bissau to maintain law and order as well as respect constitutional order and sanctity of life and safety of citizens.
The statement read,
"It is regrettable that while Chief Obasanjo was still consulting with President Sall, President Jose Mario Vaz of Guinea Bissau proceeded to appoint and swear-in a new Prime Minister in the person of Mr. Baciro Dja, a development that has worsened the political situation in his country".
