We Are Nigerians And Shall Remain One - Buhari Sends Message To Biafra, Yoruba Nation Agitators

President Muhammadu Buhari has stated that he is unhappy about democracy’s ‘slow’ method of justice.

As seen on Gistmania, the president said this as he clocked 77 yesterday in an interview he granted to state-run television, NTA.

Buhari who compared his regime as a military man to the democratic system said “When I came in uniform, I collected those who were leading, took them to Kirikiri (Maximum Security Prison) and told them they were guilty until they could prove themselves innocent,”

Buhari said, he  “learned the hard way” that he could not do that in a democracy.

“I put based on almost all the geopolitical zones committees to investigate them. Those that were found to have lived beyond their means, the balance was taken and were given to the states.

“But I myself was arrested, detained and they were given back what they have stolen.

“So under this system which is supposed to be more accountable, but it is too slow for my liking, but I have to follow it,” Mr Buhari said.
