Human rights abuse: President Buhari tells US envoy, Mary Leonard – My conscience is clear

President Buhari (retd.) has told the newly-posted United States Ambassador to Nigeria, Ms Mary Leonard, that though it is not an easy task to work for the unity of Nigeria, he is doing his best.

Buhari added that his conscience was clear with regard to upholding human rights in the country, saying, “I took an oath and I am honoring the office.

He spoke to Leonard on Tuesday in Abuja when she visited the Presidential Villa to present her Letters of Credence to him.

Leonard, during the visit, had said that her country placed Nigeria on its watch list due to the humanitarian situation in the country. She stated that the action was taken as part of efforts to deepen conversation on the issue. In response, Buhari insisted that Nigeria was wrongly presented to the rest of the world because other countries, including the US, did not widen their sources of information on the country.

A statement by Buhari’s media aide, Garba Shehu, after the meeting, quoted the retired General as saying that some sources of information might be “misleading” and “self-serving;” adding that Buhari told his visitor that his conscience was clear in line with the oath he took to defend Nigeria.

“I know that those with access have created an impression of being marginalised. I sit here with a clear conscience. I took an oath and I am honoring the office,”President Buhari said.

He recalled how he explained to President Donald Trump, during a visit to Washington DC, that reports on attacks on segments of Nigeria were not entirely true. Buhari added, “It is not an easy task to work for the unity of the country, and I am doing my best. During your stay in the country, I am asking you to ensure that your sources of strategic information cut across.”

He advised the envoy to take her time to study Nigeria by getting facts on the situation of things in the country.

always on denial the truth is that this evil regime is bent on destroying this country with there nepotism fulanization jihad but many are still been decived that we are one with northern moslems occupaying almost all the most important post in the nation wake up south before it's too late there is war going on standup for your children and unborn children

Kikikiki, the world police are not smiling. Oga is trying to present his report card. They think it's the usual online rant, the reality is real. Garba my brother the reality is real. Africa leaders will keep being at the mercy of this guy's because you need them for your health, children and well being. Please tell Adesina that we are yet to build our own ultra modern hospitals, military and good life. Even Gaddafi with all his efforts, they messed him up. Except you guys are ready to be Mugabe of this time.

If your conscience is clean as claimed, why did it take so long before releasing Sowore and Dasuki despite several court rulings, why did he act only after he received treat from the USA?

God bless America and every other country that stood against this evil perpetrated by Buhari led government.

Conscience my foot, after the unlawful detention of people granted bail by a court of law. Buhari need to trace his steps back and serve the entire country rather than serving some set of kitchen cabals!!! The fair of the US indeed!!

Always deceiving his empty skull. Daura President.

Femi Adeshina will run out of this country when the time comes.

His past utterances will deal severely with him in future.

Don't let the Fulani matter kill you on Christmas day.

You have no conscience

your conscience may be clear but your actions or that of the cabal speaks volume. ....one prays this conscience of yours lead you to do more greater things!

Mr President don't worry yourself majority of us stands firm with you! I stand with Buhari

You claimed to have a conscience but we Nigerians know that you have none. You only have the Evil black STONE of Kaabah in what you call conscience

Always claiming self-righteousness.If the despot has a "clear conscience" in 1983-85 and claiming to be having same 2015-till date, then Maj.Gen. Buhari was truly not created by the Almighty God but the devil.

I think USA shld not grant their visa to Adeshina. he will one day leave that place.
let him go and ask former media adviser- Reuben Abati to Gej, his write up now does not make sense cos people don't take him serious again.
He is fighting so hard to remain relevant in journalism circle .
