hehehehe....President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday
appealed to the militants vandalising oil installations in the Niger
Delta to come and sit down with his government to decide how the
nation’s resources can be managed instead of picking up arms against
their fatherland.
While regretting that the problems he
identified during the campaigns that preceded the 2015 presidential
election which he won are still lingering even with him in the saddle
for almost 18 months, he appealed to Nigerians to be patient with his
government.
Buhari spoke when residents of the
Federal Capital Territory led by the Minister, Muhammed Bello, paid him a
Christmas homage at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The President said Nigeria and its
citizens were uppermost in his mind, hence he would continue to do all
within his powers to improve their living conditions.
He said, “I want you to talk to people
to be patient with the government. We are always thinking about our
country and we are thinking about our people.
“God has given Nigerians a lot of
preachers and resources but human and materials, we better do the same
thing for our children and grandchildren.
“I assure you that the country and the
people of the country are always uppermost in our minds. Our performance
in the North East, Nigerians know that this government is serious.
“For our friends in the Niger Delta
area, we will persuade them that they should please sit down with us and
agree to manage our resources rather than think of fighting it out.”
