President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday met with Northern Traditional rulers in Aso-Rock.



The meeting was behind closed doors but details of the President’s discussion with the Monarchs have emerged. POLITICS NIGERIA has a transcript of the President’s speech at the meeting, Read below;

“I warmly welcome Your Highnesses to State House. I thank you for sparing time to be at this important gathering to discuss issues of national importance, especially the security of our nation.”

“I have decided to meet with Your Highnesses to assure you that government is determined to tackle and deal decisively with all security challenges facing us as a nation. This consultation, therefore, is to engage you, our Royal fathers so that, collectively, we can arrive at solutions to any and all security problems in the country.”

“We must all do our part to finally address these security challenges, particularly traditional rulers, in your respective communities, where you feel the pulse of the people, being the closest to the populace at the grassroots level.”

“Let me on this note commend your Royal Highnesses for your concern and contributions through numerous messages to me. We welcome every such expression of concern in our overall efforts to address any challenges. We are determined to step up action against crimes of kidnapping, banditry and other forms of unlawful and criminal attacks resulting in needless deaths plunging our people to untold hardship.”

“This administration will continue to do everything necessary that will improve the living standard of our people. It is one of the top priorities for this government but we won’t be able to achieve this goal without the support and input of yourselves, our royal fathers.You are the traditional authorities in your communities. Government and the security agencies will be relying on you to monitor the several different communities and people coming in and out of your areas.”

“As Traditional Rulers, I enjoin you to use your institutions to promote peace and tolerance as well as encourage youth in your respective communities to identify with government policies and programmes that will improve their living standards and development of their communities. These policies and programmes include a robust revamping of police intelligence gathering capacity and the significant boosting of the numbers of security personnel in our local communities. This in specific terms will include recruiting more police officers and doing so whenever possible from their local government areas, where they would then be stationed in the best traditions of policing worldwide.”

“Working with the State governments also, we intend to improve the equipping of the police force with advanced technology and equipment that can facilitate their work. To drive this, I recently created a full-fledged Ministry of Police Affairs. As I said during my meeting with the Traditional Rulers from the South-West, directives have been issued to the appropriate federal authorities to speedily approve licensing for States requesting the use of drones to monitor forests and other criminal hideouts.”

“We also intend to install CCTVs on highways and other strategic locations so that activities in some of those hidden places can be exposed, more effectively monitored and open to actionable intervention. We also continue to bring in our military when needed to complement the work of the police including possible deployment of troops on certain highways on a temporary basis, and the use of the Air Force assets to bomb hideouts where criminals are located.”

“Your Royal Highnesses, this Administration is determined to enforce the law, prosecute lawbreakers and secure an atmosphere of peace for all Nigerians wherever they live and also protect our communities from all forms of crimes. This is both in our interests as an administration and the interests of all Nigerians.”

These cowards don't have the guts to tell this incompetent Buhari the truth in the face, that he has failed as far as security is concerned. Traditional rulers these days are more concerned about their own commonwealth.

The intents of this government far outweighs their possibility. They are never tired of intention and plans but low energy on achieving.

“We also intend to install CCTVs on highways and other strategic locations so that activities in some of those hidden places can be exposed, more effectively monitored and open to actionable intervention.

Buhari is all talk and no action. By the way, he has been making so much noise about this CCTV since last week without implementing it. Let's see how it will address insecurity in Nigeria or it will just be another avenue to loot at the end it will be abandoned.

I'm very sure this speech was well written for him, If not, if you know you know.

No mention of population explosion, illetracy, religous extremism, almàjiri, border security and women empowerment in the North? then this is just a jamboree and photoshoot exercise.

Prevention they say is better than cure. The root cause of the problem should first of all be tackled.

Traditional rulers that are after money

Honestly you are on the right track and God will complement your effort in Jesus name . We have been asking why the States weren't permitted to get drones to monitor their environments . It will go a long way in information gathering and arresting of the criminal elements in their safe covens .God bless Nigeria

Abeg, tell Oga make dem install electricity for highway first before e go join CCTV carry come.

Who is interested in what PMB told them?

Northern Nigeria can't stop imminent disintegration of this fraud - Nigeria.


Northern Nigeria's military dictators, especially, Babangida and Abacha, created too many states in northern Nigeria to assign leadership of Nigeria to the self-acclaimed least educated group - northern Nigeria.

De real problems of Northerners. Just wish de celebrate New yam festival too.

feed him sweet lies..

Buhari don made o

I do not believe in such close door meetings with just one region of the country especially when the issue involves the security of the whole country. I won't be surprised if some of these so called "Royal Fathers" are probably the sponsors of the mayhem that are being unleashed on the citizens. I hope he holds a meeting with the Royal fathers from the south as well if he trully wants to address the rising insecurity that has bedeviled the country since he took office.

Since they don't have anybody to blame this time, they now resorted to making promises, and the CCTV is their new JOKER for the next level.
