‘Nigeria’s elites only think about themselves’ – Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday

revealed that he he knows how to deal with any

person or group that tries to derail the war his

administration launched against corruption.

He revealed this during the breaking of his

Ramadan fast, Iftar at the Presidential Villa, Aso

Rock, Abuja.

The president lamented about the selfishness of

the elites in the society when he played host to

“Whoever deter us from fighting corruption will

suffer the consequences. It is unfortunate that

the elite are self-centered and they only think

about themselves.”

“Be assured that we care about you at all times.

This government is concerned about your

welfare and we will work hard to improve it,”

Buhari said.

Other guests at the Villa include artisans such

as butchers, hairdressers, barbers, tailors,

members of the Buhari Support Organisation,

Progressives Congress.

the Government of the Federation, Babachir

Lawal; the Minister of the Federal Capital
