President Muhammadu Buhari has said
that the ongoing war against corruption is not selective but aimed at ensuring
financial and economic discipline in the country.
He spoke on Monday when he visited the Emir of Katsina,
Alhaji Abdulmumini Kabiru Usman, at his palace in Katsina, Katsina state.
Buhari said that his administration would
not relent in recovering all Nigeria’s stolen funds.
He enjoined all Nigerians to always
ignore those individuals and groups calling for the break-up of the country due
to their inability to achieve their selfish goals
The president who narrated the role
he played during the civil war in Nigeria, said over two million lives were lost
during the war.
He also expressed concerns over the prevailing harsh
economic realities across the country just as he called on the traditional
rulers to assist in educating their subjects on the need to be patient and to
always exercise restraints while commenting on state of the nation.
The president also called on community leaders across the
country to introduce monthly or quarterly meeting in their respective
communities to address issues concerning their welfare.
According to him, such meeting will provide solutions to
some challenges facing the people rather than waiting for government’s
intervention to resolve such problems.
On the current economic hardship being experienced in the
country, the president attributed such hardship to dwindling oil revenue
occasioned by the unstable global oil price.
He, therefore, called on Nigerians to diversify their means
of livelihood by engaging in agricultural activities to alleviate their
sufferings.
