President Muhammadu Buhari has maintained that the current polarization and inherent injustices in the country are neither fuelled by ethnicity nor religion, but Nigerians themselves.
Buhari said this while receiving members of the Muhammadu Buhari/Osinbajo Dynamic Support Group recently at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
According to him, nobody can accuse him of corruption after serving as a governor, minister, head of state and currently a second-term President.
His Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, made the full text of the President’s address to his guests available to journalists on Wednesday under the headline ‘Forget ethnicity, forget religion. We, the people, are the problem of Nigeria, says President Buhari’.
The President again recounted his struggles to get justice at the courts, after disputed results of presidential elections in 2003, 2007, and 2011, concluding that people who ruled against him were of his own ethnic stock and religious persuasion, while those who stood up for him were of other faiths and ethnicity.
