President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday said the nation was passing through a challenging moment as a result of the total breakdown of its core values over the years.
The president lamented that the country was currently in a difficult situation “where hardly anything works in a normal manner.”

He was speaking at the Banquet Hall of the Aso Rock Presidential Villa in Abuja while launching the National Re-Orientation Campaign tagged “Change Begins With Me.”
According to the president, there is no doubt that the country’s value system has been badly eroded over the years.
He said it was safe to say that honesty, hard work and Godliness have given way to all kinds of manifestations of lawlessness and degeneration in the national life.
He said that was why his administration had, among its cardinal objectives, change, which implies the need for a change of attitude and mindset in everyday life.
The president maintained that he needed not mention the serious efforts his administration had engaged in, since its inception, on the fight against corruption in public life.
He noted that with the progress achieved so far in the anti-graft war, the government felt the need to put in place the necessary sustainable framework for action and measures that would help to entrench and consolidate that progress.
Buhari said this could best be maintained through attitudinal change as well as the change of mindset in private and public life.
He lamented that the long-cherished time-honoured, and time-tested virtues of honesty, integrity, hard work, punctuality, good neighbourliness, abhorrence of corruption as well as patriotism had given way in the main to dishonesty, indolence, unbridled corruption and widespread impunity.
The president urged all Nigerians to adopt a change from their old ways of doing things, saying “we cannot fold our arms and allow things to continue like this.
“We must resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship, pettiness and immaturity that have poisoned our country for so long. Let us summon a new spirit of responsibility, spirit of service, of patriotism and sacrifice, Let us all resolve to pitch in and work hard and look after, not only ourselves but one another, What the current problem has taught us is that we cannot have a thriving army of rent seekers and vested interests, while the majority suffers.”
He noted that rather than sit back and complain endlessly, his administration had decided to act pragmatically with the launch of the National Re-orientation Campaign.
President Buhari also stated that the campaign would not be a sprint but a marathon that would run the course of his tenure.
He said his government was under no illusion that the changes it seeks would happen overnight, “but we have no doubt that the campaign will help restore our value system and rekindle our nationalistic fervour.”
He appealed to all Nigerians to be part of the campaign, saying the citizens must realize that “the change they want to see begins with them, and that personal and social reforms are not theoretic exercise. If you have not seen the change in you, you cannot see it in others or even the larger society. In other words, before you ask ‘where is the change they promised us’, you must first ask how far have I changed my ways ‘what have I done to be part of the change for the greater good of society”.
President Buhari congratulated the Ministry of Information and Culture and the National Orientation Agency for conceiving the campaign.
He charged all stakeholders to pursue it with vigour and ensure its sustenance by taking it to all the nooks and crannies of the country “with the aim of getting the buy in of the old, the young, the rich, the poor irrespective of gender or other social positions.”
