President Buhari and his visitors
Speaking while he played host to the Northern Christian Leaders
Eagles Eyes Forum at the State House, Abuja on Friday, President
Muhammadu Buhari, has said his administration would not hide anything
from Nigerians in its resolute commitment to restore the economic
fortunes of the country and deliver prosperity to Nigerians.
The president appealed to the religious leaders not to lose hope in
the unity, stability and progress of the country, and emphasised that
the Federal Government will continue to prioritise the safety of lives
and property, in addition to equipping Nigerian farmers with the right
tools, technology and techniques to boost agriculture.
“You must tell your followers the truth about the country. We have nothing to hide because we have no other country but Nigeria.
“Tell them to give us a chance to stabilize the country. Your
concern for the security, unemployment, anti-corruption campaign and the
frequent altercations between herdsmen and farmers are genuine
concerns.
“I know the Ministry of Agriculture and the Governors Forum are
doing a lot to resolve the lingering crisis between herdsmen and
farmers, we must give them a chance ,” Femi Adesina, Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, quoted the president as saying.
President Buhari thanked the Christian leaders for their support to
the Federal Government’s anti-corruption campaign and other policies
geared towards reviving the economy.
“It is saddening that some of those who stole from our national resources put the money in their personal accounts.
“However, it is gratifying that those who stole money and
shared funds meant for the purchase of arms for our military are
regretting their actions and they will regret more. Those caught in
corruption will have themselves to blame," he said.
