"Against the backdrop of criticisms over his actions or
inactions on some burning national issues, President Muhammadu Buhari has
explained why he doesn’t make decisions hurriedly".
The
President at a dinner where he hosted chieftains of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) in Abuja on Thursday said he is fully aware of the issues
confronting the country and that he is guided by historical antecedents.
“I
felt I had to invite you to let us eat together and I tell you that I am
sitting here very much aware of the problem in this country. I will always
reflect on historical antecedents.
“I
decided to drop the uniform and come back here (to be President of Nigeria), so
I have gone through it over and over again. This is why I am not in a hurry to
do anything. I will sit and reflect, and continue to (operate) with my clear
conscience,” he said.
He
also gave the assurance that he will never forget the contributions of the APC
chieftains while he was vying for the number one office appreciating them for honouring
his invitation.
“I
thank you very much for honouring my invitation and I am telling you that if I
don’t call you, it is not because, for a moment, I ever forgot how you
supported me at one stage or the other over the years.”
