President Muhammadu Buhari says he wants to be remembered as a Nigerian president who fought corruption to a standstill, calling on Nigerians, who are not involved in corruptly enriching themselves with public funds, not to be afraid.

During a press conference after the India-Africa Summit, which took place in New Delhi, President Buhari said he would not lose sleep over criticism that he was being selective in the fight against corruption.

“Slow And Steady”

He called on the elites to encourage him to get whoever had compromised his position and the trust given to him.

President Buhari told the gathering that he remained resolute in the fight against corruption and would want to be remembered for that when it is all said and done.

His administration has three main focus – security, economy and the fight against corruption.

But he has roundly been criticised by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as being selective in the fight.

On the economy, critics of his administration said he was too slow in addressing economic and infrastructure in a country yearning for development, a criticism he had responded to saying: “They call me baba go slow, but I will go slow and steady”.



“Not About Meeting Deadline”

The President must be bothered that the National Assembly had been polarised following his choice of ministers.

While he was away, the PDP and the All Progressives Congress’ lawmakers were sharply divided over one of his ministerial nominees, Mr Chibuike Amaechi.

Following the confirmation of his ministerial nominees, President Buhari said he would prune down the number of ministries so as to be able to pay salaries.

On whether there will be an extension of a three-month deadline given by his administration to flush out Boko Haram from Nigeria’s north-east, the President said that the target was to get rid of terrorism and not about meeting deadline.

One of the main talking points at the one-day summit in New Delhi, was the provision India had make for African countries. The nation said it had set aside over $10 billion grant for African countries.

Wooing investors, President Buhari assured Indians and the international community of his administration’s commitment to sustaining efforts aimed at making Nigeria an envy of all.

He urged them to avail themselves of the conducive environment that would be created for investments to thrive.

juicee1:
now you want FG to fix them?

I thought you said they should be left for biafra republic to fix.

Chanchit:
Its just a pity that if Nnamdi Kanu dies there, you would still continue making noise that its still a strategy.

sigiyaya:
It took only the killing of Mohammed Yusuf to give birth to the monster called Abubakar Shekau.
Remember the problem in the north east and if another in the south east and south south then Nigeria is gone.

For nnamdi to just walk into lagos knowing fully well that he will be arrested i small rat (There might be international backing)
Buhari is not wise, Nnamdi knows what he is doing and the FG is really playing to his gallery. Now he is one of the most famous
personality in the entire world.

Eluwilussit:
Did I mention any location?

ExInferis:
PDP thinks the investors are so stupiid they don't know that Nigeria is broke?

Buhari's audience cannot easily be fooled with tales by moonlight. Even the UK admits that it's broke, the US always releases data whenever the economy is slowing.

As for corruption, same thing. They know.

Eluwilussit:
Funny but true. Let them keep telling the whole world that we are not trustworthy.

biafranqueen:
Do you know that thousands of women and children are being murdered and raped by Boko Harem since May what r u saying?

philips70:
As usual, many who have little knowledge on the real issues and how they went will always fall victim to the shenanigans of politicians. PDP is struggling to gain the sympathy of Nigerians so they will go any length to do it even with lies that will stoke the sentiments of Nigerians.

Buhari made all the speech they wrote up there not to any international audience in India but to a ChannelsTv correspondent in a corner interview. He has been accused severally of not granting interview to local journalists when on international trips. As usual many will not check before passing judgment.

Ikiriye:
So with the kind of statement he proposes if you are an investor will you invest in such a country.animal blind beyond comprehension.foolish apc fan

Reference:
No one is saying he should deny it. Metuh and the PDP is simply saying he should stop repeatedly putting that as our only offering as a nation and as a people. That is demarkets us. Let me ask you. Is he going to wait for every corrupt Nigerian is in jail before he handles the economy. Can you wait on that. When fire consumes an occupied house, the firemen break into two teams - one to rescue, the other to tackle the blaze. One cannot wait on the other. Wisdom and success in life remains about striking the right balance. I know his vision is a holy country but he has to feed the masses with 5 loaves and 2 fishes. He should be careful not to make the same mistakes as in 1984.

francizy:
See the vindictive, bigoted, selective, tribalistic, visionless, pessimistic, mischievous and senile president with analogue brains that mizmycoli asked us to pray for.

Very soon, the major occupation of 95% of Nigerians will become armed robbery, fraud, ritual, rape, terrorism, etc just because one old morôn decided to wreck our economy with his negative mindset and speeches.

You never see the likes of modath, passingshot and co here. SmH!

Reference:
And Oga wake up. When it is made here. It is called MADE IN. IN. IN. NIGERIA. Indomie is made BY indians. It is made IN Nigeria. You need foreign investors bro. Dangote is making cement IN Tanzania. He pays his taxes (from the plant) IN Tanzania. Nigeria will gain very little. Dangote takes the cake. He is a Nigerian but to Tanzania he is a foreign investor. You need them.

mediachirps:
Sorry about that. Put your hope on God.

Ovaiegbe:
Many years back, a visionary artist Fela Anikulapo Kuti sang these words, "My people are senseless, my people are useless, my people are indisciplined..." alluding to Buhari's words as Military head of state.

30 years later Nigerians are hearing the same word in a different tune.

HISTORY - The beautiful subject that purnishes every people who refuse to learn of it.

oweman:
Buharis statements are demarking Nigeria thieves are saying one wonders what the acts by the past govenment did to Nigeria

1)kill them in hospitals without drugs
2)military without weapons
3) bad high wayss
4) hospitalsnwithout drugs
5) civil servant whose money to pay has been stolen
This wailers should keep thier smelling mouths shot ! ! My hope is they are made to face firring squad to end them permanently enough of this silly talks .

onatisi:
and do we need our president to jeep hammering it into their ears ? Whatvbuhari is doing is like a groom father telling his son in laws that his son is an hardened criminal and will soon go to jail ,will you give your daughter to such a family?

You must be a child and that is why you are talking like this let me school you. Read the link so you won't sound ignorant, and spread false information. Indias foreign investment is growing like wild fire. This is just the stock market.
Every tech country US Apple, Dell, Microsoft and thousands of others are using India for customer service. Please talk with knowledge not ignorance.

phillipay:
When would this pdp niggas learn to take some chill pills and totally accept that they have lost and can never win again,if has a party you had the chance for 16yrs and couldn't utilize it in making our resource rich nation one of the best you are a complete failure and you dont always quote someone who is trying to clean your mess up

Bimpe29:
PDP is getting better as an opposition.

Reference:
You don't need foreign investment abi. That is what OBJ said and started doing from 1976. By 1999 he was on his knees begging them to come. Last week Cameron was on his knees before the Chinese president. Even the US continually seeks foreign investment. In the past one year 90 percent of my revenue has come from overseas as Nigerian component declines so I am not affected at all by the economy. Pally, I hope you are never placed near any economic decision making theatre.

erekoshe:
Maybe you can start by building your own internet. say something meaningful, inasmuch as you want to rely on what you produce, does it seem feasible on the short run? Are we working towards it, or it ought to happen like magic?

Lobeez:
One of the umbrella demons who looted our treasury, destroyed our morals and bla bla bla for 8 out of the 16 years of umbrella regime is still nosing around Aso rock villa and whispering advice to your president. What good do you then expect from the president?

Mexyz:
Mr man keep shut there,just take time and read what you wrote if it makes sense to you. Do we(Nigerians) look like we care about Mr President religious beliefs or morals? We voted him to fix things and not complain,so it is not against his religion to associate with thieves like Audu,Obj and the rest? ....... Don't you think its better to be a liar than a suicide bomber.

erinalex:
you think investors are mumu,that u can cajole with sweet talks;they are not morons, give them any information,and they will go extra mile to confirm the authenticity,before dropping a dime. Foreign investors are not as gullible as an average electrorate in nigeria,who easily fell for lies from our politicians. If u expect PMB to start wooing investors with lies,u'r wasting ur time. For all d lies by Gej,how many foreign investors was he able to bring to nigeria? Pls don't resort to abuse. If u have the Facts & figures,let me in the know. No limit to information. Enjoy ur sunday !

sweatlana:
I said this exactly on the other trend. Buhari is portraying Nigeria as a hopless national.

Can someone pls tell pmb u don't shit where u live!

I wonder how he intends to get investors when all he does is rubbish Nigeria each time he travels abroad.
I'm beginning to believe that buhari might actually be a stark illiterate cos even a trader sealing in the market would not tell a potential customer that her goods are rotten

billyG:
I advice him to overtax those big thieves so that they will started selling their private jets.
