I Will NEVER Resign And There Will NEVER Be Biafra – 7 Powerful Points From Buhari’s 6-Minutes Historic Speech

President Muhammadu Buhari, on Monday, delivered the long awaited national broadcast, something the entire country pressed him to do even during his medical vacation in the United Kingdom, UK.

Careful  analysis of the President’s speech, has revealed seven important points every Nigerian must take home from the broadcast.

BUHARI MISSED NIGERIANS

“I am very grateful to God and to all Nigerians for their prayers”, the President said. “I am pleased to be back on home soil among my brothers and sisters.”

NOT TOO SICK TO WATCH TV

Did someone say Buhari was on life support for a long time? It does not appear so, going by the President’s utterance. Remember too, that his Aides once tweeted a photo of him watching Channels TV?

“In the course of my stay in the United Kingdom, I have been kept in daily touch with events at home”, Buhari said on Monday.

“Nigerians are robust and lively in discussing their affairs, but I was distressed to notice that some of the comments, especially in the social media have crossed our national red lines, by daring to question our collective existence as a nation. This is a step too far.”

BUHARI AND OJUKWU WERE PALS

“In 2003 after I joined partisan politics, the late Chief Emeka Ojukwu, came and stayed as my guest in my hometown Daura”, he said. “Over two days, we discussed in great depth till late into the night, and analyzed the problems of Nigeria. We both came to the conclusion that the country must remain one and united.”

This is a lesson to those do-or-die ethnic jingoists. Ojukwu and Buhari spent quality time together, while some members of the public are desperate to murder people who are not from their ethnic group.

THERE WILL BE NO BIAFRA

Was Nnamdi Kanu watching? Biafra will not happen anytime soon; in fact, there will no conversation about that particular matter.

“Nigeria’s unity is settled and not negotiable”, Buhari stated. “We shall not allow irresponsible elements to start trouble, and when things get bad they run away and saddle others with the responsibility of bringing back order, if necessary with their blood.”

AREWA AND OTHER QUIT NOTICE ORDERS, NOW VOID AB INITIO

Buhari had a word too, for those issuing quit notices, and counter-notices to people of other ethnic backgrounds.

“Every Nigerian has the right to live and pursue his business anywhere in Nigeria, without let or hindrance. I believe the very vast majority of Nigerians share this view”, he said.

“This is not to deny that there are legitimate concerns. Every group has a grievance. But the beauty and attraction of a federation, is that it allows different groups to air their grievances and work out a mode of co-existence.

“The National Assembly and the National Council of State, are the legitimate and appropriate bodies for national discourse. The national consensus is that, it is better to live together, than to live apart.”

BOKO HARAM IS NOT YET DEFEATED

Recall, that the Military has claimed several times that Boko Haram has been defeated. However, the President tacitly admitted that the war is not only on, but it must be revved up.

“Furthermore, I am charging the Security Agencies not to let the successes achieved in the last 18 months, be a sign to relax”, Buhari noted.

“Terrorists and criminals must be fought and destroyed relentlessly, so that the majority of us can live in peace and safety.

“Therefore, we are going to reinforce and reinvigorate the fight not only against; elements of Boko Haram which are attempting a new series of attacks on soft targets; kidnappings, farmers versus herdsmen clashes, in addition to ethnic violence fuelled by political mischief makers. We shall tackle them all.”

BUHARI WILL NOT RESIGN

In the past three months, a lot of people have called on the President go give up power. It did not stop after his return to the country on Saturday; some say Buhari is apparently still too sick to handle the rigours of Presidency.

“I remain resolutely committed to ensuring that these goals are achieved and maintained”, he said. “I am so glad to be home. Thank you and may God bless our dear Nation.”
