President Muhammadu Buhari today promised that mass killings of innocent Nigerians, abductions and other criminal atrocities would soon become history in the country.
The president made the pledge in his Easter message to the nation.
He said that his administration was determined to achieve peace and security across the nation by ending the avoidable conflicts and crises that hindered national progress.
He explained that already, the nation’s security apparatus were being reformed and empowered to win the war against terrorism and other criminal activities across the country.
He stressed that the unfortunate incidents in recent years involving the wanton shedding of the blood of men, women and children in frequent orgies of criminal, political, ethnic and religious violence had become embarrassing and unacceptable.
He said, “My administration is determined to achieve peace and security across our nation by ending the avoidable conflicts and crises that hinder our national progress.
“I ask for the support of all Nigerians in this regard. We must put a stop to politically motivated killings. Our communities must be made safe again for all inhabitants to live together in peace and harmony.
“Our armed forces, police and other security agencies are being progressively reformed, repositioned and empowered to win the war against terrorism and make mass killings, abductions and other criminal atrocities things of the past in our beloved country.
“Let us all also play our parts as patriotic citizens and do all that we can to ensure that we make Nigeria a safer, more peaceful and happier place for its people and others.”
The President, who rejoiced with Nigerians, especially Christian brothers and sisters, who were celebrating Easter, urged them to imbibe the essential message of Jesus Christ, who repeatedly urged his disciples and followers to “love one another as I have loved you.”
He added, “As we celebrate Easter this year, I sincerely believe that it will serve our dear nation very well if we all imbibe this essential message of Jesus Christ and truly learn to love our countrymen and women as we love ourselves.
“Indeed, we will surely make faster progress towards the achievement of the peaceful, united, strong, progressive and prosperous country we all desire if, as a nation, we eschew all divisive, parochial, ethnic and religious sentiments and rivalries, and begin to live more harmoniously with our compatriots, as Jesus Christ and the founders of the world’s other great religions enjoined mankind.”

What a trash...I can'teven read this. If buhari cannot condemn and call all the fulani herdsmen to order but quick to condemn Brussels and river state then he is not fit to be president. A president will not sit and watch over 500 people killed in a month by some rogues and expect to have a peaceful night... therefore I call for the immediate impeachment of the president
ReplyDeleteHe just read a speech that the likes of Lai Muhammed wrote. It means nothing to buhari more than buying tine with the ignorance of nigerians
ReplyDeleteApc - Change! Sai Baba!
ReplyDeleteAction should speak louder than voice.
ReplyDeletePls pls pls, I want GEJ back as president bcos d sole-called buhari I voted for is a set back. How can u so far so good recovered billions in hard-earned currency and 9ja is still like dis. No light, no fuel, for god's sake am frustrated even black market is no where to be found. BUHARI is just saving all dis recovered money for the next-available thief(next president). In my village when dias generous donation for a project, dey execute it immediately not a day after. Buhari has recovered unbelievable amount of money to turn nigeria into a paradise without touching d nations account and still dis ape refuses to execute wat my last born has d sense to do. Am highly disappointed in both myself and d ape I voted for. D worst part of it all is, if buhari cannot do d job, mark my word nobody can do it bcos even the unborn child who will b d president of nigeria is a thief.
ReplyDeleteBuhari is clueless and doesn't deserve to be the president of Nigeria while his kinsmen in the name of herdsmen continue to kill innocent Nigerians.He should resign.
