President Buhari while receiving leaders of the Nigerian Community in Saudi Arabia at the end of his lesser hajj trip said efforts would be intensified to expose those involved in drug trafficking and illegal trade in the country.
He assured that appropriate actions would be sustained by his administration in its second term in office.
President Buhari disclosed that the recent exposure of a network of drug dealers operating at one of Nigeria’s international airports, who were discovered to be tagging bags filled with drugs in the name of innocent passengers, called for expansion of searchlights.
He urged citizens to refrain from breaching the laws of Nigeria and other countries. In his words, “Every country has its own unpatriotic citizens. In China and Saudi Arabia, the laws are stringent on these things. Our citizens must obey our laws. They must respect the laws of other jurisdictions and if they don’t, then they should blame themselves, not the harsh laws that they meet".
The President commended the support and prayers of Nigerians in Saudi Arabia for the wellbeing of the country, assuring them that his administration will do its best to secure the country, improve the economy and fight corruption.
Speaking on his second term, President Buhari said he owed Nigerians a debt of gratitude.
