President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday said any Nigeria who has another country to relocate to is free to do so.

On his part, he said he would stay back to solve the nation’s position.

According to a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, the President spoke while addressing Niger Delta stakeholders at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.


“We are determined to make life comfortable and affordable to all Nigerians. If anybody has a country to go to, let him go, we will stay here and salvage our country,” Shehu quoted the President as saying.

Buhari was said to have told the leaders of the Niger Delta that they had more to do than anyone else to bring peace to the region, given the influence they have on militant groups.

He expressed the determination of his administration to stay focused on its key campaign promises of securing the country, fighting corruption and creating jobs through the improvement of the economy.

He said peace, security, investment and prosperity are linked together, adding that “if we give peace a chance, investors will come here to invest. Nobody will invest in an insecure environment.”

Buhari said the problems his administration found on the ground were many, as illustrated in collapse of oil prices, inability of 27 of the 36 states to pay salaries, absence of savings to fall back and having to deal with an elite who didn’t seem to care.

All these, he said, made his government to conclude that, “life as usual is no longer affordable.”

In welcoming the 16-point request presented for negotiation by the Niger Delta leaders, Buhari said he was still expecting reports from officials he had instructed to review the implementation of the Amnesty programme to determine where government fell short so that amends can be made.

The President said the service chiefs were putting together their own assessment of the militancy situation, saying “when I have these reports, including this one (just presented), we will revisit the situation (in the region) to ensure that we succeed this time.”

The President who delivered his report card on the war against corruption and the efforts to secure the country repeated his call to the Niger Delta leaders to join the administration in bringing peace to the troubled region.

On point

Trust enemies of Nigeria to twist it

Some people have died of starvation while waiting for the promised of change which is bleak.Buhari,you are wicKED.

Cameroon is not far

This goat from futa jallon will not stop embarrassing himself with silly statement

It should be clear to all and sundry that this government is worse than military regime.

During past military erase, at least they try small by encouraging Nigerians not to check out and leave the country.

I can't forget that national advert, 'Andrew don't check out' acted by Enebeli Elebuwa (RIP). I still know him as Andrew till today.

Doesn't Bubu know what brain drain is?

Chai !!!!

"give buari mic n he will use it to destroy himself." - wise man.
not dat i care about d dullard, but if i were him, i will rather plead with aggrieved pipul to come togeda so dat we can solve our problems using diplomacy. diplomacy is a must for any govt dat wants to succeed. it is a form of conflict resolution strategy. any pesin wishing to lead any nation must understand dis principle. without diplomacy, govt will face stiff resistance from pipul.
see wat d dullard just said in oda words, he's telling aggrieved pipul to "do their worse n leave d con3 if they dont believe in his govt." how will dis statement calm hot nerves n resolve conflict n u wonder why there's crisis every wia in d con3.
buari dullard doesn't know any tin about diplomacy.

I':m relocating to South Sudan
