Nigeria - Gen. Muhammadu Buhari yesterday assured Nigerians that that his administration would be fair to all irrespective of religious and political inclinations, and that there would be justice in the land, ThisDay reports.
While lamenting the level of poverty and deprivation among Nigerians, the President-elect promised to do all within his power to fix the multifaceted problems bedeviling the country.
He said it was unfortunate that there was practically nothing on ground to positively impact the wellbeing of Nigerians in spite of the huge revenues realised from oil proceeds in the past sixteen years.
Buhari said the oil revenues earned by Nigeria in the past sixteen years were more than what the country earned since northern and southern Nigeria were amalgamated in 1914.
He cited the level of disrepair in the railways, airways and the shipping lines to buttress his assertions.
He also expressed his determination to look into cases of injustice over the years.
"We will ensure that there is peace and security in the country. We will fight corruption and eliminate ignorance, poverty and illiteracy in the land. These are the causes of tribalism and divisiveness among Nigerians," he said in Hausa to the delegation comprising clerics, traditional rulers, businessmen and politicians.
