PRESIDENT BUHARI: LEADERS WHO SWEAR BY THE HOLY BOOK MUST NOT ABUSE PUBLIC OFFICE

President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday in Lafia said leaders who take the oath of office, swearing with the Holy Book, must be careful not to abuse the trust of leadership placed on them by the people and God.

Speaking at a courtesy visit to the palace of Emir of Lafia, retired Justice Sidi Bage Muhammad 1 , the President reaffirmed that he has no intention whatsoever to stay beyond the constitutionally recognised two terms of office as leader of Nigeria.

''The traditional ruler is on a terminal appointment. Constitutionally, we (elected public office holders) are not. I cannot go beyond two terms and I have sworn by the Holy Quran that I will uphold the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

''Politics apart, whenever we are made to swear by the Holy Quran, we have to be very careful. We must make sure that we do not abuse the trust God has given us as leaders.

''I have seen former Governors here and I am looking forward to also becoming a former President,'' he said.

President Buhari thanked the people of Nasarawa State for a rousing welcome, expressing delight that the North-Central State was wearing a new look since his last visit in 2019.

He congratulated the immediate past Governor and Senator representing Nasarawa South Senatorial District, Umaru Tanko Al-Makura and the incumbent, Governor Abdullahi Sule for the laudable initiatives and accomplishments in the State.

Welcoming the President to the over 200-year old palace, the Emir of Lafia thanked him for ending the problem of insufficient power to Nasarawa State with the provision of 330kVA sub-station.

The Emir, who is also the Chairman, Nasarawa State Council of Chiefs, told the President that the provision of the electricity plant ''has taken out 80 percent of our problem.''

''Our people have never had it so good. Our people are back to their normal life as entrepreneurs, '' he said, adding that the Federal Government projects that were ''standing as ghosts'' in the state in the past have now become a reality.

The retired jurist listed the newly inaugurated CBN Building in Lafia, the Federal Secretariat, UBEC Smart School and completed Ecological projects, just to mention but a few.

On arrival in the capital for his 2-day State Visit to Nasarawa, President Buhari inaugurated the Lafia Airport, Vocational and Skills Acquisition Centre, Modern Bus Terminal and the Shinge-Barkini Abdullahi-Kilema road, executed by the State Government.

He also inaugurated CBN Lafia Branch building and a 330kva Akurba Transmission Substation executed by the Federal Government through the Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC) to boost power supply in the state and its environs.

I still don’t get the reason why politicians swear by the Bible and Quran because there is no repercussion if they go against what they proclaim during the oath swearing ceremony.

They should start swearing by Sango olukoso, Amadioha, Ogun Lakaaye and etc and you will see how they will be dealt with mercilessly if they go against their path.

But I trust Naija politicians, they will still pay the traditionalist to do fake Sango swearing for them.

I prefer leaders of Nigeria to swear to Ogun, Amadioha or Agbara.

Our leaders have no reverence again for the holy books but they still got fears for the deities. They should swear to these deities and we will see them dare not go contrary

God is a God of mercy - thanks to Jesus Christ

Rochas once suggested that they should swear with Amadioha. That's probably what greedy politicians need to stop siphoning public funds.

Holy book? What made the book holy. To the leaders that swear by the so called Holy book, the book is no different from other books.

I think it will be more effective if the leaders swear in the Name of their God or if they place a curse on themselves saying what will happen if they abuse office.
