National leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has said that there is no President that will intentionally want his citizens exposed to banditry and danger. The APC leader and former governor of Lagos State stated this while fielding questions from journalists after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari, Monday night at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
He appealed to Nigerians to cooperate and show understanding with the government in the midst of the challenges for the unity of the country.
The APC national leader, who was accompanied by the party’s pioneer interim National Chairman, Chief Bisi Akande, debunked the insinuations in some quarters that he has a frosty relationship with the President.
Asked what the President should do at the moment given the deteriorating security situation in the country, he said there was a need for effective security and effective communication.
“There’s no president or leader that will want his nation fractured by tribalism, religious differences, and all that. It calls for serious management and serious evaluation and dialogue once in a while. That’s all.
” On the agenda of his visit, he said, “It is to generally review the perceptions going on outside there and equally focus on the security across the country more.
He will have more information than we have, but we are his ears close to the ground and we have to exchange views so that a better Nigeria is grounded. That’s all.”
