President Muhammadu Buhari has said, jokingly that he would have ran to another country to take refuge but thanks to the abundant rains last year and this year that had led to boost in food production.
“We are lucky that last year and this year the rainy season is good. If it were not good I must confide to you that I was considering which country to run to.
“But God answered the prayers of many Nigerians the rainy season last year was good and this year with the report I’m getting is good. We thank God for that otherwise there would have been a lot of problems in this country.”
President Buhari spoke today, Monday, when he received the National Council of Traditional Rulers, led by the Sultan of Sokoto Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III, at the presidential villa.
The President said that rain has led to good harvest and prevented famine in the country even as he blamed the “mismanagement of national resources” over the years for the economic woes that had visited Nigeria.
He gave assurance that he will continue to pursue programmes and projects that will better the lives of Nigerians in all spheres of life.[myad]
