President Muhammadu Buhari has said that his government would fish out those beating the drum of war in Nigeria.
The president spoke when a delegation of Borno/Yobe Elders Forum paid him a courtesy visit on Tuesday in Abuja.
He said his administration would continue to do its best to protect Nigeria’s stability in spite of the negative efforts of a few people with resources and influence.
“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 resources 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,” he said.
President Buhari noted the request for the upgrade and development of infrastructure in the states and assured that while he would do his best in acceding to the requests, he would however, prioritise development in education.
“We are aware of the infrastructure deficit. Our priorities will be education because all our citizens know that children within a certain age must receive it otherwise if they miss it, the future is destroyed.”
He thanked the delegation for acknowledging the efforts of his administration in the area of infrastructural development in their states.
