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 militantgroups.Heexpressed thedetermination of his administration to stay focused on its key campaignpromises of securing the country, fighting corruption and creating jobs through the improvement of theeconomy.Hesaid peace, security,investment and prosperityare 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 tocare.Allthese, 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 bemade.ThePresident 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 thewar against corruption and the efforts to secure the countryrepeated his call to the Niger Delta leaders to join the administration in bringing peace to the troubled region.
