President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday asked the citizens to resist agents bent on causing breakdown of law and order in Nigeria, saying no individual or group would be allowed to destabilise the country.
He spoke at an Iftar dinner with governors, ministers and heads of agencies.
‘‘We have the land, we have the resources, and we have the people. But I do not know why people will allow themselves to be successfully subverted to destabilise their own country,” he said.
He said despite of the current security challenges, Nigeria would succeed.
Buhari said he had been a beneficiary of free, fair and credible elections.
He said the introduction of technology and the Permanent Voters Card would make it impossible for anyone to claim millions of votes again in the country.
Chairman, Nigeria Governors Forum and Governor of Ekiti State, Kayode Fayemi, commended Buhari for demonstrating resilience and determination at a crucial period in Nigeria’s history.
‘‘We’ve a leader who is not distracted by momentary challenges but has continued to commit to the renewal of our nation and we, governors, ministers and heads of government agencies are equally dedicated to building a better Nigeria, on your watch,’’ he said.
