The President Muhammadu Buhari
has met with the 36 state governors.
In his address, the President
commended the leadership style of the governors, saying he was pleased with the
work they have done so far to improve the welfare of their various states.
Read the full speech below:
“I have just addressed members of
APC and PDP senior officials that came to welcome me back. I thank you very
much for the national approach in your leadership, those who are leaders at
political level and those who are chief executives in their respective states.
I had so much time to watch television NTA 24, I heard so much information
about the states. I am very pleased with the states, you are all doing your
best and you are lucky your best is proving to be good enough in agriculture
and solid minerals. You are succeeding in agriculture because I think people
cannot afford foreign food.
“The valuation of the Naira is
not our making. It may not favour us but is something we cannot change. Some
people were asking me if we should be more strict on the borders … but I want
to thank God last year and this year is better than what it used to be.
“The efforts by the vice
president is commendable. He used his intellect to run all over the place. I
was seeing him 24 hours on NTA. I congratulate them and I allowed him to come
and see me to thank him personally for what he has done.
“I’m very happy with the national
prayers it was well covered and reported, across religions and ethnicity,
people were praying. In fact some groups in London came and sang the national
anthem and asked that I should go back home, indeed I have come back home. I
hope those who went there are not stuck there, they will come back and join us …
those that are stuck there with the Brexit, I hope they have weighed the
implications that it won’t affect them including those that have properties
there, those who are not paying tax here, I hope when they sell their property
there they will bring some of the money here. We need it very badly here.
“I thank you very much. My morale
has been raised greatly by the love shown to me and the security of the
country.”
That is a good one Mr President. No hard feelings.
