EKO HOT BLOG reports that President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday in Abuja urged Nigerians to resist agents of destabilisation.

He also urged Nigerians to resist agents bent on causing breakdown of law and order.

Buhari said this at an Iftar dinner with Governors, Ministers and Heads of Government Agencies.

In a statement signed late Tuesday by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, Buhari said, ‘‘We have the land, we have the resources, and we have the people. But I do not know why people will allow themselves to be successfully subverted to destabilise their own country.”

The president thanked the governors and ministers for honouring his invitation to break the Ramadan fast and expressed the confidence that in spite of current security challenges, the country would succeed.

In the 2023 general elections, the president affirmed that being beneficiary of free, fair and credible elections, the introduction of technology would make it impossible for anyone to claim millions of votes again in Nigeria.

In his remarks, Chairman of, the Nigeria Governors Forum, Ekiti’s Gov. Kayode Fayemi, commended President Buhari for demonstrating resilience and determination at a crucial period in Nigeria’s history.

“We have a leader who is not distracted by momentary challenges but has continued to commit to the renewal of our nation.

“We also have governors, ministers and heads of government agencies that are equally dedicated to building a better Nigeria, under the president’s watch,’’ he said.

Fayemi noted that this year’s month of Ramadan coincided with the just-concluded Christian Lenten period.

“It holds enormous spiritual value on the benefits of renewal, sacrifice, almsgiving, forgiveness and healing for the individual as well as for the nation,’’ he said.
