PRESIDENT CLINTON: Well, thank you very much. Let me say, first of
all, I want to thank your Chief for making me feel so welcome, and all the
elected officials. I want to thank the people who danced for us and played
for us. They were very good, yes? (Applause.) And I want to thank all
those who made the gifts you gave me and my daughter and our family. And I
want to thank the school children who walked down here with me and sang the
beautiful songs.
I came to Nigeria to express the support of the people of the United
States. We support your democracy. We want to help you build your
