President Muhammadu Buhari has faulted individuals who blame Nigeria’s challenges on ethnicity and religion.
President Buhari spoke while receiving members of the Muhammadu Buhari/Osinbajo (MBO) Dynamic Support Group, who visited the Presidential Villa, Abuja, to present a compendium of five years achievements of the administration to him.
He told his audience that “Our problem is not ethnicity or religion, it is ourselves,”
He recalled in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, that people who ruled against him were of his own ethnic stock and religious persuasion, while those who stood up for him were of other faiths and ethnicity.
The President appreciated the group members for using their “resources, energies without any input from me” to carry out the project.
His words: “I cannot thank you enough. I’m very grateful to you and to Nigerians because in 2019, I visited all the states, the people that turned out to see me across the country (because I am dedicated to serving Nigeria and Nigerians), the love is genuine.
“Thank God that over the years, they can’t accuse me of corruption. And I’ve been everything; Governor, Minister of Petroleum Resources, Head of State, President , and in my second term.“
