Nigeria would have been destroyed – Buhari

 

President Muhammadu Buhari has said that what Nigeria witnessed recently were strong enough to have destroyed the country.

He said that the indefatigable CAN DO Spirit of the Nigerian has sustained the country and “would keep pushing us to put these challenges behind.

He stated this in his Democracy Day’s message to Nigerians.

Buhari said, “As with all democracies we will always be going through improvement processes in our desire to reach the goal of a mature democracy, a strong, evolved and integrated nation state to be reckoned with globally.

“ In the last two years we have witnessed and overcome a good number of testy challenges that would have destroyed other nations especially relating to our collective security.

“ The indefatigable CAN DO Spirit of the Nigerian has sustained us and would keep pushing us to put these challenges behind us.

“Unfortunately some of these challenges came in the shape of violent outrages leading to the loss of lives of many of our dear compatriots and the destruction of some of our infrastructure, including those devoted to improving our democratic processes.”
