No part of Nigeria will be ignored under my watch – Buhari
President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday reiterated that no part of the country would be ignored under his watch.
Buhari spoke when a delegation of Ugep Kingdom, Cross River State, led by His Royal Highness, Obol Ofem Ubana, Obol Lopon of Ugep, a retired Army officer, visited him in Abuja.
Responding to a request by the royal father for the Federal Government to intervene and resolve inter-ethnic conflicts affecting several communities in their domain, he said his experience in the military afforded him the opportunity to work with everybody.
“I assure you that under my watch, no part of Nigeria will be ignored. I am very pleased that you [the traditional ruler] have shared some professional background as a former military officer.
‘‘My experience of being in the military afforded me the opportunity to work with all Nigerians and this is a lifetime experience,’’ Buhari said.
Earlier in his remarks, the traditional ruler thanked the President for appointing Yakuur sons into exalted positions in government, including Chief of Naval Staff, Minister of Niger Delta and Special Assistant to the President on Prosecution.
He pledged the support of his community president’s “quest to Nigeria.”
“As Obolo Lopon of Ugep, I am ready to partner with relevant government agencies saddled with the responsibility and management of communal conflict resolutions,” he said.
Addressing newsmen after the meeting, the traditional ruler said his community would support the re-election bid of President Buhari. to the rescue
