President Muhammadu Buhari, on Tuesday, disclosed that he met with Christians from across the country and exchanged ideas with them on how to move the country forward.
The President stated this when he broke the Ramadan fast with some Islamic clerics at the Presidential villa, Abuja.
While calling on the religious leaders to pray for the growth and progress of Nigeria, President Buhari noted that he had given the same call to Christian leaders before the Ramadan fast.
“I’m very pleased we have actually met. Before the Ramadan I met our Christians brothers, from all over the country and we exchanged ideas with them,” he said.
“I’m very pleased, we realised that this is our problem; the country’s problem is our problem. Nobody will solve it for us. We pray very hard to God. We work very hard and let us continue that way.”
“If we have problems, this is the only country we have. I said it more than 30 years ago. We quickly go out, we go to pray in Saudi Arabia, we go maybe to other developed countries, but this is home.”
“This is where God put us and we have to stay here and pray many times per day for God to guide us so that we can leave a better country to the next generation.”
