Full Text Of What Buhari Told Ministers-Designate On Tuesday

A sincere apology by President Muhammadu Buhari has been called for by the Coalition of Northern Groups, CNG.

According to CNG, Buhari has not lived up to expectations, despite promises he has made and should as a matter of urgency apologize to the country.

This the group stated while reacting to a statement by Buhari who was thanking Nigerians for boycotting the RevolutionNow protest which was staged by Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC.

Sowore had called for a revolution over the alleged failure of the current Federal Government but was however arrested by the Department of State Services, DSS last weekend.

Despite Sowore’s arrest, the protest was held in pockets of locations.

However, CNG has now said Buhari should rather apologise to Nigerians for dragging the country into a desperate situation.

A statement by its spokesperson, Malam Abdul-Azeez Sulaiman, reads: “We submit that instead of just sitting back to thank Nigerians for not joining the overthrow plan, President Buhari should rather sincerely apologize to the nation by reflecting on how he dragged the country into such a desperate situation, own up to his inadequacies and take genuine steps to address the mounting national grievances.

“Unless this is done, with the growing angry mood that pervades the entire country, the likelihood of a more serious dissent remains imminent.”
