President Muhammadu Buhari on Saturday promised that under his watch, no section of the country would either be discriminated against or marginalised.
Buhari made the promise at the palace of the Emir of Daura, Katsina State, Dr. Farouk Umar Farouk, where he was hosted to the breaking of the Ramadan fast, Iftar.
The President spoke at a time when he is under fire by Southern groups over what they described as “lopsided” appointments of heads of the various security agencies in the country.
They said the pattern of the appointments by the President did not reflect federal character and the diversity nature of the country.But Buhari who addressed his kinsmen in Hausa language after the Iftar said issues and situations would be considered objectively.
He said no action would be taken for or against any section of the country on the basis of prejudice.
“Under my watch, no section of the country would either be discriminated against or marginalised,” the President told his kinsmen who trooped out to welcome him.
He assured Nigerians that he would do whatever it takes to remain honest, fair and just in steering the ship of country towards prosperity.
He therefore called for support and understanding of Nigerians as he strives to rebuild the country fairly, honestly and responsibly.
Katsina State Governor, Aminu Masari; and the Emir took turn to assure Nigerians that Buhari’s honesty and integrity, Nigeria is not only in safe hands but destined for prosperity.
