“From what I have seen so far, we need really
patriotic Nigerians – Nigerians that can work very hard, knowledgeable,
experienced, committed Nigerians – to be in charge of ministries.
“A
lot of the institutions of Nigeria – important institutions – were
compromised. Everybody was for himself and God for all of us; its most
unfortunate.
“We have the people, educated people, experienced
people but everybody seemed to be working for himself – how much he
could get as much and as quick as possible.
“We have to look for
technocrats and we have to look for politicians and certainly we have to
look for decent people in this class to give them the responsibility of
being in charge of ministries and important parastatals (agencies)”.
On
reported under-dealings in the nation’s oil and gas sector, the
President said that the Federal Government was working very assiduously
to expose the persons behind the illegal activity.
He
promised that his administration would continue to update members of
the public on government’s investigation into the matter.
He said that government’s aim was to identify and prosecute all those found culpable.
According
to him, the relevant shipping documents are being compiled for onward
submission to countries of destination of stolen Nigerian crude oil.
“The
search continues; up to the third of this month, our crude was still
being illegally lifted by people who are in government.
“We are trying to get these documents. We are getting the cooperation of the international community.
“We
are going to make sure that those who perpetrated this theft against
Nigeria are faced with facts very soon and are taken to our courts.
“We’ve got the cooperation of some of the countries of the destinations of our crude (oil) and we are discussing with them.
“We
have to maintain high confidentiality so that we don’t risk some of the
loyal Nigerians that are helping us to trace the destinations of this
stolen crude and then the accounts into which the monies are being paid
instead of the Federal Government account.“
Buhari said that his
administration was still studying the recommendations on how the Nigeria
National Petroleum Corporation should be reorganised.
He
described his recent trip to the United States (US) as very successful
as he was able to extract the commitment of the American government to
assist and support Nigeria toward tackling the economic and security
challenges it was facing.
He said that the US and other European
countries had also pledged to assist Nigeria by putting in place
necessary security mechanism in the Gulf of Guinea to help check the
theft of the country’s crude oil.
Commenting on the leadership
tussle in the National Assembly, the President reiterated his that he
would not interfere directly in the affairs of the lawmakers.
Buhari,
who expressed displeasure and frustration over the lingering crisis in
the Assembly, however, called on those behind the dispute to search
their conscious and obey party’s decisions on issues concerning their
affairs.
He called on Nigerians to cooperate with his
administration to move the country forward and warned that no part of
the country would be allowed to operate on its own.
The President added that the Nigeria “must remain one”.
