The Presidency has stated that President Muhammadu Buhari requested for World Bank assistance to development the northern Nigeria especially the the ravaged Northeast.
Punch newspaper in a report on Friday morning had discussed how the World Bank group president lamented the process of working in the North when President Muhammadu Buhari requested the group to focused up.
But in a statement on Friday by Femi Adesina, he said: "what President Buhari simply did what a caring leader should do.
"He took the battle to the insurgents, broke their backs, and then sought for help to rebuild, so that the people could have their lives back. Should that then elicit the negative commentary that has trailed the disclosure from the World Bank? Not at all, except from insidious minds.
"President Buhari has a pan-Nigerian mandate, and he will discharge his duties and responsibilities in like manner.
" Any part of the country that requires special attention would receive it, irrespective of primordial affinities, which narrow minded people have not been able to live above."
