I Want Nigeria To Be A Stable Country – Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari has come out to say that his government will keep working for the stability of Nigeria.

He recently revealed this when he received a delegation of Borno/Yobe Elders Forum who paid him a courtesy visit at the Presidential Villa, in Abuja.

According to him, he would eventually succeed over those who don’t need the unity of the country, and he vows to identify and deal with the individuals who are constituting nuisance to the oneness of the country.

He added that the stability of Nigeria is of paramount interest to him, and the Federal Government would surely guarantee peace in the country.

His words, “We need this country. We will continue to work for its stability. I feel that whatever happens, we will continue to make it, and will keep on praying to God so that for those who feel that they don’t need Nigeria, we will succeed over their intentions and actions.”

“I am confident that we will eventually convince the small number of people with resource and influence that are a nuisance to this great country. God willing, we will identify them, and deal with them. I am extremely concerned about your constituency like the rest of the country.”
