2019: Buhari To Politicians, Regulate Your Utterances by Belluchii: 6:16pm On Oct 31, 2018 |
PRESIDENT Mohammadu Buhar, Wednesday pleaded with the political actors to exhibit decorum in their conduct and utterances in order not to fan the embers of disunity as the November 18 official date to commence campaigns for the 2019 general election draws near. President Buhari President Buhari who made the appeal while launching the 2019 armed forces remembrance day emblem and appeal fund with a donation of N10 million to support Nigerian veterans and fallen heroes at the Council Chamber, Presidential Villa, Abuja, before the commencement of the weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting, said in every contest, there must be a winner. According to him, “We would have no country to lead if our acts of deliberate incitement lead to the disintegration of our dear nation,’’ the President said in his address at the Council Chambers. ‘‘Let us put Nigeria first and realise that in every contest there must be one winner.” He said that the celebration was a painful reminder of the perils of war and the need for the nation to avoid a recurrence. He said, ‘‘The celebration forcefully reminds us of the resolve of our citizens to remain in one united country, Nigeria. ‘‘It also points out the fact that we had been through a bitter and unfortunate war that led to the loss of millions of our compatriots and the need to do all within our powers to avoid a reoccurrence of war.” President Buhari appreciated the gallantry and sacrifices of the Nigerian Armed Forces in the campaign against insurgency and other internal security operations. Noting that the efforts of the armed forces have led to the return of normalcy in affected parts of the nation, the President regretted the recent murder of two young and promising aid workers; Saifura Khorsa and Hauwa Liman by Boko Haram terrorists. ‘‘It is painful that this happened despite all the efforts of government to effect release of the two victims. ‘‘We condemn the callous and cowardly act in its entirety and call on all citizens and friends to forge a united front against this common enemy of our destiny. ‘‘Once more, I extend the heartfelt condolences of the Government and people of Nigeria to the families and friends of these martyrs,’’ the President said. The Nigerian leader pledged that the resettlement and rehabilitation of citizens affected by the war on terror will continue, commending Dangote Foundation for its partnership with Government in the rebuilding process in Borno State. The President, therefore, called on other corporate organisations to borrow a leaf from this noble initiative as Government alone cannot satisfy all the needs, given her limited resources. President Buhari also expressed delight that businesses operating in Nigeria are beginning to give special consideration to members of the Armed Forces and veterans. ‘‘Specifically, some airlines operating in Nigeria offer discounts to members of the Armed Forces. This gesture is commendable and in line with my call for recognition, consideration and appreciation of our Armed Forces. ‘‘I urge more business ventures to chip in by assisting the Security Forces in whatever way they can,’’ he said. The President also thanked charity organisations for taking up the task of catering for the welfare of veterans and members of the armed forces, adding that the nation owe a debt of gratitude to men and women of the armed forces who have the responsibility of securing the Nation, and ensuring a conducive environment for businesses to thrive. On the Bill to amend the Nigerian Legion Act to a proposed “Veterans Federation of Nigeria” Act, the President urged the 8th National Assembly to give the proposed legislation, which seeks to ensure proper welfare and health condition of military veterans, quick attention. ‘‘As Grand Patron of the Nigerian Legion (Veterans), I wish to pledge my continued support and that of the Federal Government to the organisation. ‘‘My appreciation goes to State Governors who are patrons in their respective states for the support they are giving to the Legion. I enjoin them not to relent but improve on this,’’ he said. President Buhari called on all Nigerians and others resident in Nigeria to procure and wear the emblems with pride to identify with those who laid down their lives for peace and security of our fatherland. The President was accompanied to the event by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, members of the Federal Executive Council, Chief of Defence Staff, General Abayomi Olonisakin, service chiefs and the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, senior officers and veterans. The Minister of Defence, Mansur Dan-Ali in his address said, “It is the desire of government that this act of remembrance be implanted in the hearts of all Nigerians so that we can on daily basis act in ways that show appreciation. “We also owe it a duty to give consideration to the plight of the widows and orphans of our fallen heroes.” https://www.vanguardngr.com/2018/10/2019-buhari-to-politicians-regulate-your-utterances/ |

He is right. Regulate ur ultrances and stop saying "my ambition is not worth anyone's blood" instead start saying "the dogs and the baboons would be socked in blood". Can anyone ever be as careless with ultrances and as devilish in ambition as Buhari? Yet he has turned a preacher-man today, pretending to love peach. Buhari may ur evil live with you and your household. 1 Like |
