President Muhammadu Buhari has asked his children to study hard, saying he will not steal Nigeria's money.
The
president said this in a documentary entitled "Buhari: Beyond the Iron
and Steel" aired on Nigerian Television Authority last night by the
Presidency.
Buhari also said the goodwill he enjoyed from the masses kept him in politics.
He added that his central objective was to provide transparency and accountable government.
"I
pray five times a day thanking God that allowed people to understand
and believe me. This goodwill that I enjoy from the masses is what is
keeping me in politics and of course, my central objective is to provide
transparency and accountable government," he said.
Earlier in a
Facebook post, presidential spokesman Mr Femi Adesina quoted some
government officials as commenting on Buhari thus:
"He gives you
things to do, and leaves you strictly to do those things. No
interference at all, once he has confidence in you....And he cracks
those jokes, and manages to still keep a straight face." -Vice President
Yemi Osinbajo.
"He gave me some priority projects: Mokwa/Jebba road,
Lagos/Ibadan Expressway, and Second Niger Bridge...He never appends his
signature to anything, unless you've explained, and he understands it."
Mr Babatune Raji Fashola, Minister of Power, Works and Housing.
"When
we were in the opposition, you needed to see how we rolled on the floor
in his living room, as we laughed. Of course, we can't do that again
now." Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, Kaduna State governor.
"I wish I had his
patience. He would listen to everybody, and then take a decision. He is
a reformed democrat." Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State.
"How I
wish Nigerians know his softer and accommodating side. Very jocular.
But it is our duty to tell them." Abike Dabiri, Senior Special Assistant
on Diaspora Matters.
