…Says: “We’ve done our best and will continue to do more”
President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed his confidence that the nation will overcome the prevailing situation of insecurity bedevilling some parts of the country.
The President stated this yesterday, during a meeting with the Kano State governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, along with a delegation of the Tijjaniya movement (worldwide), led by the Grand Khalifa (overall head) Tidjani Ali Bin-Arabi, at the State House, Abuja.
According to President Buhari, Nigeria will overcome its myriad of security challenges, saying, “The present administration is well aware of its responsibility with regards to security and will continue to do its best”.
While urging Nigerians to be fair to his government in assessing the security issues in the country by reflecting on what was obtained at the time he took over in 2015, and the successes as well as performance which mark a decisive break from the past, particularly in the North-East and the South-South regions, he promised that even the North-West region, which has given the nation some ‘headache’, will experience a turnaround for the better.
He also urged citizens to take responsibility and show interest in the affairs of their own security and complement what the government is doing.
He joined the delegation in praying that God will give guidance and strength to leaders to be accountable and do right in all things that they do.
The Tijjaniyya leader in the country, Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi, and the Grand Khalifa extolled the existing cordial relations between Nigeria and Algeria and prayed for guidance and blessings for the country and its leaders.
He said the visit of the Grand Khalifa had also rekindled the old ties between the Tijjaniya and the many cultural and educational institutions in Nigeria.
