President Muhammadu Buhari has bared his mind on the state of the nation…

“Before and during my time in the Armed Forces and in government, I have interacted with Nigerians of all ages and persuasions and different shades of opinion over a period of more than 50 years.”

“My firm belief is that our people above all want to live in peace and harmony with their fellow Nigerians. They desire opportunity to better themselves in a safe environment.”

“Most of the instances of inter-communal and inter-religious strife and violence were and are still as a result of sponsorship or incitements by ethnic, political or religious leaders hoping to benefit by exploiting our divisions and fault lines, thereby weakening our country.”

“My administration will crack down on those who incite ordinary innocent people to violence and social unrest. I am warning those with corrupt tendencies to have a change of heart or be dealt with according to the provisions of the law.”

“The Federal Government will not tolerate actions by any individual or groups of individuals who seek to attack nation’s way of life. We will crack down on those who incite ordinary, innocent people to violence and unrest. We will ensure that such actions are met with the strong arm of the law.”
