President Muhammadu Buhari says
every part of the country will be represented in the allocation of political
offices in his second term.
The president gave this assurance
on Friday when he received the leadership of the Christain Association of
Nigeria (CAN).
Samson Ayokunle, CAN president
who led the delegation, had urged the president to see himself as the father of
all.
“Having been re-elected
President, you have become the President of all. In view of this, we urge you
to see yourself as the father to all by embracing all,” he said.
“We solicit for inclusiveness and
fairness as you constitute your cabinet and appoint worthy Nigerians to the
headship and membership of critical agencies, boards, and parastatals.
“This is the true and objective
way in which you can give all in the country, a sense of belonging.”
Responding, Buhari said: “We will
continue to strive for peaceful co-existence among all Nigerians irrespective
of their religious beliefs.
“In the area of allocation of
political offices, our focus will be on merit and national spread such that
every part of Nigeria will have a sense of belonging.”
He also assured that his
administration would continue its fight against insurgency and rescue all those
held in captivity.
He commended the association for
the roles they have been playing since he assumed office and promised to
continue supporting several programmes anchored by the Nigeria Inter-Religious
Council (NIREC).
How can PMB commend CAN fir the roles it has been playing since his assumption of office as President? A body that has constantly engaged in hate acts and speeches, creating religious dichotomy amongst Nigerians etc.!!
