Leaders must come together to pull Nigeria out of its challenges – Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari has enjoined all those in leadership positions across the strata of the society to come together and pull the country out of its current challenges.

He made the call on Friday when he received a cross section of residents of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), led by the Minister of the FCT, Muhammad Bello, who paid him Christmas homage at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

According to him, Nigeria’s main problem is how to get the right leadership in place for the general good of the society.

He said “for the leaderships at various stages, both civil and spiritual, we need to be patient in managing the society.

“We need to come together and pull the country out of these problems that we find ourselves, everybody in the world believes that Nigeria is a lucky country because of its natural resources.

“Our problem is how to organise ourselves and how to get the right leadership in place.’’

On security challenges, Buhari said no society developed in an atmosphere of insecurity and social discontent.

He, therefore, maintained that his administration was determined to persuade the Boko Haram militants if they could be persuaded to allow peace to reign in the country.
