Those Who Stole Monies Meant For Military Equipment Are Regretting, But They Will Regret More - President Buhari

Nigeria's President, Muhammadu Buhari on Friday in Abuja pledged not to hide anything from Nigerians in his administration’s commitment to restore the economic fortunes of the country and deliver prosperity to Nigerians. 

Buhari made the remark when he received in audience a delegation of the Northern Christian Leaders Eagles Eyes Forum at the State House, and he appealed to them as religious leaders not to lose hope in the unity, stability and progress of the country.

He assured them that the Federal Government would continue to prioritise the safety of lives and property, in addition to equipping Nigerian farmers with the right tools, technology, and techniques to boost agriculture.
President Buhari further urged them to tell their followers the truth about the country, asserting, “We have nothing to hide because we have no other country but Nigeria.”

“Tell them to give us a chance to stabilize the country,” he continued.  “Your concern for the security, unemployment, anti-corruption campaign and the frequent altercations between herdsmen and farmers are genuine concerns.’

The President confirmed that the Ministry of Agriculture and the Governors Forum are working hard to resolve the lingering crisis between herdsmen and farmers, and called for them to be given a chance to succeed.

He expressed gratitude to the Christian leaders for their support of the Federal Government’s anti-corruption campaign and other policies geared towards reviving the economy.

“It is saddening that some of those who stole from our national resources put the money in their personal accounts,” he stated, noting that those who stole and shared funds meant for the purchase of arms for the military are regretting their actions, but will regret even more.

“Those caught in corruption will have themselves to blame,’’ he said.
The leader of the Forum, Pastor Aminchi Habu, called on Nigerians to support the President’s anti-corruption war and his vision to restore the lost glory of Nigeria.

``In your administration, I see a new Nigeria where the fear of bribery, corruption and extortion is the beginning of wisdom,” he Pastor said.
“I see a new Nigeria, where tribalism, religion and ethnicity [are] no longer a barrier that separate us but a bond that unites us for a greater tomorrow.”

There was pandemonium at the General Aviation Terminal (GAT) of Murtala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA) on Friday following a gunshot which was believed to be an accidental discharge, culminating in the injury of two persons.

An orderly of a Senator accidentally fired the gunshots, of which he was trying to remove the magazine of his gun when the discharge occurred leaving him and another woman injured.

The incident caused serious panic within the terminal as travelers and airport workers scampered for safety on hearing the gunshot.

 Eyewitness report indicated that the security man was to travel on Arik Air and he wanted to dislodge the magazine from the gun in line with standard practice in air travel but incidentally the gun released its bullet. It hit him and a woman on the leg, it was gathered.

 An eyewitness said, "It is a standard practice in air travel for anyone with a gun to pull out the bullet. This is what the security man was trying to do but incidentally the gun released the magazine which splattered and hit him and the woman on the leg as he bent down to pull out the magazine from the gun".

 They, however, trekked out of the terminal to the vehicle that conveyed them to the hospital without any assistance. According to the source, the injury was not that severe.

 General Manager, Public Affairs of Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), Mr. Yakubu Dati, confirmed the incident. He said what transpired was an accident which occurred while the man was trying to remove the magazine from his gun as a standard procedure because guns are not allowed onboard aircraft but they are usually checked in, in the luggage compartment.

 Dati, who described the incident as minor, assured air travellers that all the airports are safe and secure, adding that in recognition of the security challenges in the country and around the world, security at Nigerian airports has been fortified.
