In a statement issued on Tuesday by the special assistant to
the president on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, President Muhammadu Buhari was reported to have said that if anybody has
a country to go to, let him go.
He made the statement when he received Niger Delta leaders
at the Presidential villa earlier today. In his words;
“We are determined to make life comfortable and affordable to all Nigerians. If anybody has a country to go to, let him go, we will stay here and salvage our country.”
Speaking further, the President urged leaders of the region to join him in building the country.
“Please Your Excellencies, Your Majesties, Distinguished ladies and gentlemen; we all have our individual constituencies. Let us try to pacify our constituencies.
Let us first recover our country, secure the country and let
us invite people who will invest. Let us create jobs for our people and let us
be accountable to our people where we are sitting on treasuries, whether it is
local government, state or the center. We should ensure that we rebuild this
country.
Nobody wants to fail. So, the only way out is, if people
understand and believe that we are doing our best at all levels, then we will
have some peace. But it they have reason to doubt our performance and
sincerity, then we will have problem”.
