President Muhammadu Buhari has urged warring factions in the Republic of Chad to prioritize national interest and secure their country, rather than decimating it through infighting.

Buhari said this when he received the country’s transition President, General Mehmet Déby-Itno, who visited him on the sidelines of the ongoing United Nations Conference on Least Developed Countries in Doha, the Qatari capital.

The President also expressed sympathy for the young Chadian leader who, he said, inherited a fragile state from his deceased father, Idris Déby.
