President Muhammadu Buhari on Saturday said his administration would not allow “few evil forces” in the country whose agenda is to “attain political power by inciting hate and intolerance among the citizens”.
He equally said his administration met an economy in shambles as a result of widespread “corruption and mismanagement” of the nation’s common-wealth, compounded by a sharp drop in the prices of oil, when he took over in 2015.
Buhari disclosed this while speaking at the graduation ceremony of participants of Senior Executive Course (SEC) 40, 2018 of the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS), KURU, in Jos South LGA of Plateau State.
The President who was represented by the Minister of Defence, Mansur Muhammad Dan Ali, said, “Let me assure you that we shall not allow few evil forces in our midst whose only agenda to attain political power is by inciting hate and intolerance among the citizens.
“They exploit and manipulate the fault lines in the society to destroy our collective peace, mutual coexistence and social harmony, thinking that they will change the narrative; and the people would not ask them to account for what they looted from the common wealth.
“Permit me to use this opportunity to share with the Nigerian policy elite, our government’s policy thrust on good governance. Good governance involves transparency and prudence in public finance, social justice, investing in the poor and creating employment for the youth.
