BUHARI HOSTS POLITICAL PARTY LEADERS, SEEKS SUPPORT TO DEFEAT INSECURITY

Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday hosted the leadership of political parties at an Iftar dinner in Abuja, calling for support to defeat the endless security challenges facing the country.

According to a statement issued by the presidential media aide, Femi Adesina, the President described insecurity as a common enemy bedeviling the country.

He, therefore, asked all political parties in the country to keep elections and election-related differences aside and join the administration’s drive to win the war against insecurity.

Buhari recounted that last week the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the All-Progressives Congress (APC) had tremendous success at its meeting, ending with a clear message that the party will continue to push for the establishment of democratic principles at all levels.

On ease of doing business in the country, President Buhari told captains of industry and political leaders at the dinner that his administration has done exceedingly well in improving the business climate, urging the private sector to complement the government’s effort in poverty reduction and job creation for the young people.

In his remarks, the National Chairman of the All-Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Abdullahi Adamu, urged leaders of political parties to make firm commitments towards peaceful and successful 2023 general elections and challenged them to work in unison to achieve the purpose.
