I know what I went through and very<br \/>\nfew Nigerians could boast of trying four times [contesting for the<br \/>\npresidency].<\/p>\n<p>\u2018\u2018Those interested in participating in the elections must get their PVCs,<br \/>\nregister in their constituency and elect anybody of their choice across<br \/>\nethnicity and religion.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018\u2018The Nigerian police, law enforcement agencies and INEC must respect the<br \/>\npeople to express their wishes,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n<p>Citing recent elections in Bauchi, Katsina and Kogi States, the President<br \/>\nsaid the country had made progress relative to elections conducted in the<br \/>\npast years.<\/p>\n<p>On security issues, the President reaffirmed that his government has<br \/>\nsucceeded in curtailing Boko Haram insurgents in the country, adding that<br \/>\nthe terrorist group no longer controls any part of the country.<\/p>\n<p>He attributed the success to operations of security agencies deployed to<br \/>\ncounter insurgency in the North-eastern part of the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018\u2018You will all recall that we contested the last election basically on<br \/>\nthree issues, which includes security, especially in the North East.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018\u2018The Boko Haram used to occupy quite a number of local governments in<br \/>\nBorno State but they are not in anyone now. They have resorted to a very<br \/>\ndangerous way of terrorism by indoctrinating young people, mostly girls<br \/>\nand attacking soft targets, churches, mosques and marketplaces,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n<p>On herders and farmers clashes in Nigeria, the President told Nigerians in<br \/>\nthe Diaspora that while security agencies are doing their best to curtail<br \/>\nthe clashes, the Nigerian media need to complement the efforts through<br \/>\nobjective and informed reportage.<\/p>\n<p>The President appealed to the Nigerian media to make an attempt at<br \/>\nunderstanding the cultural and historical implications of some of the<br \/>\nmisunderstanding between herders and farmers.<\/p>\n<p>In the words of the President: \u2018\u2018To my disappointment there are a number<br \/>\nof things which the members of the press in Nigeria do not make enough<br \/>\nefforts, in my observation, to study the historical antecedents of issues<br \/>\nthat are creating national problems for us.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>According to the President, due to the effects of climate change, a farm<br \/>\nthat used to belong to 5 people now belong to 50 people, the weather<br \/>\ncondition, particularly the rainy season is now unpredictable.<\/p>\n<p>The President partly blamed the farmer\u2019s herders\u2019 controversy on the<br \/>\nshrinking of the Lake Chad, which has forced many cattle nomads to seek<br \/>\ngreener pastures for their herds in other parts of the country.<\/p>\n<p>On Nigeria-China relations, the President applauded China\u2019s generosity and<br \/>\ncontribution to the development of Nigeria, citing the successful<br \/>\ncompletion of the Abuja-Kaduna railway line, built by the Chinese, and<br \/>\nongoing works on Lagos, Ibadan, Ilorin, Abuja, Kano railway routes.<\/p>\n<p>He said Nigeria and China are also negotiating on the Mambilla project.<br \/>\nPresident Buhari advised Nigerians planning to travel abroad for \u2018\u2018greener<br \/>\npastures\u2019\u2019 to do so legitimately and not to expect too much from their<br \/>\ncountries of destination.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018\u2018You cannot seek greener pastures in a place where you are not respected<br \/>\nbecause of the colour of your skin or your lack of education or other<br \/>\nthings.

Nigeria is grateful to China for extending this<br \/>\ngenerosity to us.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018\u2018The Chinese are helping Nigeria greatly with building infrastructure, it<br \/>\nis very much appreciated. We are pleased with the training they providing<br \/>\nfor our Nigerian Students.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>President Muhammadu Buhari also met with the executives of China Civil<br \/>\nEngineering Construction Corporation (CCECC), during which he lauded the<br \/>\nconstruction group for their immense contributions to infrastructure<br \/>\ndevelopment in Nigeria.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"conversation-footer\" class=\"spacer\"><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Muhammadu Buhari Sunday in Beijing said that as a beneficiary of free and fair elections, he is not afraid of a credible process in 2019.
