President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday met with leaders of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja and stated why he is ‘not in a hurry to anything’
The president said he prefers to seriously reflect on issues placed before him and ensure that his conscience had been satisfied prior to granting approval.
“I decided to drop the uniform and come back here (to be President of Nigeria), so I have gone through it over and over again. This is why I am not in a hurry to do anything. I will sit and reflect, and continue to (operate) with my clear conscience,” Mr. Buhari said during a Thursday afternoon meeting with his party leaders and supporters which was covered by Channels TV in Abuja.
“I had to invite you to let us eat together and I tell you that I am sitting here very much aware of the problem in this country. I will always reflect on historical antecedents,” the president added.
Recall that President Buhari was recently criticised from wide and near for his policies since assuming power and handling of the killings by Fulani herdsmen across the country in particular.
Opposition party, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) also joined in the criticisms insisting that the president was insensitive to the plight of Nigerians.
The president however assured Nigerians that he is aware of the challenges bedeviling the country and would do everything in his power to fix it.
Channels reported that Mr. Buhari thanked his guests and assured them of unwavering thought of their loyalties and efforts.
“I thank you very much for honouring my invitation and I am telling you that if I don’t call you, it is not because, for a moment, I ever forgot how you supported me at one stage or the other over the years.”
