EKO HOT BLOG reports that President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday evening hosted the leadership of political parties at an Iftar dinner in Abuja, calling for support to defeat the myriads of security challenges facing the country.

According to a statement issued by the presidential media aide, Femi Adesina, the President described insecurity as a common enemy bedevilling the country.

He, therefore, asked all political parties in the country to keep elections and election-related differences aside and join the administration’s drive to win the war against insecurity.

“Without mass, popular support to our hard-working Armed Forces, it will take us much longer to finish off the successful war we are waging against terrorism, banditry and kidnapping. Our country must be kept safe for progress and prosperity to be entrenched,” Buhari was quoted as saying.

“I look forward to seeing the reflection of this spirit in the relationship between the parties and the government, especially as the electioneering season will soon be on us.”

Buhari recounted that last week the National Executive Committee ( NEC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) had tremendous success at its meeting, ending with a clear message that the party will continue to push for the establishment of democratic principles at all levels.
