President Buhari calls for dedication to service from leaders



BuhariPresident Muhammadu Buhari has called on leaders in the country to work towards uniting the country in order to realize the vision of the nation’s founding fathers.

Speaking in Kaduna through Governor Nasiru El-Rufai of Kaduna State at the 50th anniversary of the demise of late Sir Ahmadu Bello, the Sardauna of Sokoto, President Buhari noted that the country was characterized by poverty, corruption, insecurity and other social vices, stressing that the present leadership must be guided by what the founding fathers stood for.

President Buhari enjoined all leaders to work hard to serve the people and ensure the restoration of the country in all spheres of life, which according to him was the philosophy that the late Sardauna lived and died for.

He noted that the late Sardauna ruled the people with confidence, justice, fairness and contributed to the overall development of not only the north but the entire country and therefore urged leaders to lead with integrity and honesty for a better society.

‎Earlier, the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammadu Saad Abubakar, had called on the people of the north to come out of their shadows and stop using the name of the late Sir Ahmadu Bello, the Satdauna of Sokoto for their selfish ambitions but to ensure they are led by what the late Sadauna stood and died for.

He challenged the present leadership in the country, particularly in the north to take up with passion, vision and aspiration the late Sardauna lived and died for, adding that the north is living on a time bomb that calls for urgent measures to be taken to restore confidence in the leadership by doing the needful.

He particularly laid emphasis on the completion of Ajaokuta company, which according to him would go a long way towards enhancing the living standard of the people and create job opportunities to the teeming unemployment youths.
