Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari has shared a statement via a presidential aide, telling the youth to keep the peace in Nigeria for the sake of their own interests.
The President is reported to have put this speech together when he was called on by Amina Mohammed, former Nigeria’s Environment Minister and current Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations.
Madam Amina had visited President Buhari at the statehouse today, November 9, to discuss issues surrounding coronavirus, climate change, security and more.
The statement from Buhari mentioned how the corona virus has negatively affected the economy.
He also spoke about the Lake Chad and its connection with security and migration.
The statement delivered by Femi Adesina said;
“Our own generation is on the last lap, we are exiting,” President Buhari said in response to the recent EndSARS protest, and the mayhem and destruction of public and private property that came in its wake.
It is in the interest of the youths to keep the peace. They want jobs, infrastructure and development. I have sent a team led by the Chief of Staff (Professor Ibrahim Gambari) to go round the country, talk to traditional rulers, who will then talk to the youths. The views of the youths have been heard”.
