President Buhari Speaks About Biafra by goldeno10boy: 3:46pm On Jun 22, 2016
– President Muhammadu Buhari told
some members of his cabinet that
governing Nigeria is no joke and the
country seriously needs prayers to solve
its challenges

– He said part of the challenges is that
while the economy is going down, the
country has not developed agriculture
while it is still trying to get investors in
the solid mineral sector

– He declares that those agitating for
Biafra were not born during the civil war
because they would have known the
calamity the war brought to the country
President Muhammadu Buhari may have
revealed how hot his seat is as he disclosed
on Tuesday evening that leading Nigeria is
not a joke.
Look at what General Gowon said: ‘To keep
Nigeria one is a task that must be done’ and
every soldier whether he has been to
school or not knew what the General
meant.
He also called for prayers from well-
meaning Nigerians saying this is one sure
way the country can grow and overcome its
current economic challenges.
The Cable reports that the president made
the disclosure while breaking his fast with
some members of his cabinet at the
presidential villa, Abuja.
Buhari said this just when the federal
government has sacked resident doctors in
government hospitals a day after they
embarked on a nationwide strike.
To him, the Ramadan period is an
opportunity for leaders to be more
conscious of their actions.

He said: “Leading the people is not a joke.
It means accepting responsibilities for good
or wrong.
“We need a lot of prayers. This month of
prayers and service to God, let’s keep on
these prayers all the times, believing that
God in His infinite mercy will listen to our
prayers, give us peace, security and better
the economy once more so that we can
quickly rebuild and even do more for the
country.

“With the nation’s economy going down…
We haven’t developed the agriculture, we’re
still trying to talk on those who’ll come and
develop the solid mineral for us.

“It’s no news that we are the biggest
country in Africa, we’re the economy
engine of Africa, which are true by the way.
But, we must always be patriotic in our
dealings with others.

“It strengthens our resolve to build our
country to make it stronger and to make
sure that the incoming generations are
sufficiently motivated to be patriotic.”
While commending Yakubu Gowon, former
head of state, for striving to preserve the
unity of the country, the president urged
militants and those agitating for Biafra
republic to ruminate on the civil war in
which over two million lives were lost.

“We have to reflect on the historical
antecedent to appreciate what is before us
now and what we intend to leave for our
children and our grandchildren.

“The militants in their various homes need
to reflect very seriously on what happened
between 1967 and 1970. About two
millions Nigerians lost their lives.
“And at that time, as young military
officers, you hardly heard of anything
about petroleum or whatever money you
got from it.

“Look at what General Gowon said: ‘To keep
Nigeria one is a task that must be done’ and
every soldier whether he has been to
school or not knew what the General
meant. But, we were quarreling with our
brothers, we were not fighting an enemy
and then somebody is saying that once
again he wants Biafra.

“I think this is because he was not born
when there was Biafra.”
