Nigerian elites are against me - President Buhari

- Ahead of his inauguration, President Buhari has thanked Nigerians for voting for him

- The president noted that elites in the country have never supported his political ambition

- According to Buhari, he familiarised himself with every part of the country in his bid to become president

President Muhammadu Buhari has said that Nigerian elites have never supported his political ambition and thanked ordinary citizens for making him a leader.

The president said this during a special interview aired on the Nigerian Television Authority on Monday, May 27.

President Buhari said the elites have always supported candidates they believe will bend to their political and economic interests. The president said the people however saw through this and chose him without any conditions.

He said: “They want to impress and they try to dictate the terms for government. I contested three times before I won the fourth time. The elite should thank the rest of other Nigerians who voted for him (me).

“People trooped out to see him on the campaign trail, which means that the elite had always been in the minority. Nigerians understood me.

The president said he familiarised himself with every part of the country in his bid to become president.

He said: “There is no local government in Nigeria I have never visited between 2003 and now.”

Meanwhile, in the bid to deal with the menace of unemployment, the federal government has said that it will create not less than 20 million jobs during President Buhari's second term.

This was revealed by Okechukwu Enelamah, the minister of industry, trade and investment, in Abuja on Monday, May 27, during a function on job creation organised by the Industrial Training Fund (ITF).

Represented by Sunday Edet Akpan, the ministry’s permanent secretary, Enelamah said that the jobs will be in sectors like agriculture, construction, transport and services, adding that the federal government has directed the Industrial Training Fund (ITF) to do this.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
