—Says he wants to be remembered as President that stabilised Nigeria

—Adds: I try to keep myself clean

—It’s unthinkable for any Igbo man to consider himself not part of Nigeria.

PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari yesterday told the leaders of the South-East that without peace there is nothing anyone can do no matter how much the person tries.

President Buhari also told the people that he would want to be remembered as the President who stabilised Nigeria in the area of security, economic prosperity and triumph over corruption.

This is as the President also said that nobody can accuse him of having companies or mansions anywhere in the country and that he tries to keep himself as clean as possible so that I cannot be taken, hostage

He further said that it is unthinkable for any Igbo man to consider himself not part of Nigeria.

President Buhari, who spoke at a town hall meeting with South-East leaders during his one-day official visit to Imo State, said with less than two years left in his eight-year tenure as President, security still remains a major priority for his administration.

A statement issued by Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity quoted Buhari to have said, ‘‘If there is no security, there is nothing anyone can do no matter how much you try or the initiative you have.

‘‘Security is the number one priority and then the economy. When people feel secure they will mind their own business.”

He told South-East leaders that while fighting corruption in Nigeria had become very sophisticated and difficult, he would continue to strive to leave a lasting legacy of integrity and accountability in the system.
