President Muhammadu Buhari has said that the issue of the nation is Nigerians and not nationality or religion.
Getting individuals from the Muhammadu Buhari/Osinbajo (MBO) Dynamic Support Group, who visited the State House in Abuja on Wednesday June 30 to introduce an abridgment of five years accomplishments of the organization, the President related his battle to get equity after questioned consequences of official races in 2003, 2007, and 2011.
Buhari said that the individuals who governed against him were of his own ethnic stock and strict influence, while the individuals who supported him were of other confidence and identity.
The President said;
"Our concern isn't identity or religion, it is ourselves.
"After my third appearance in the Supreme Court, I came out to address the individuals who were available then, at that point. I disclosed to them that from 2003, I'd went through 30 months in court.
"The President of the Court of Appeal, the principal port of call for portrayal by official up-and-comers then, at that point, was my cohort in auxiliary school in Katsina. We went through six years in a similar class, Justice Umaru Abdullahi.
"My lawful head was Chief Mike Ahamba, a Roman Catholic and an Igbo man. At the point when the President of the court concluded that we should put forth our perspective, my first observer was in the case.
"Ahamba demanded that a letter ought to be shipped off the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), to introduce the register of voting demographics in a portion of the States, to demonstrate that what they reported was lie. It was reported.
"At the point when they gave judgment, another Igbo man, the late Justice Nsofor, requested the response from INEC to the letter shipped off them. They just excused it. He then, at that point chose to compose a minority judgment. That was following 27 months in court.
"We went to the Supreme Court. Who was Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN)? A Hausa-Fulani like me, from Zaria. The individuals from the board went in for around 30 minutes, returned to say they were continuing on break. They went for 90 days. At the point when they returned, it didn't take them 15 minutes, they excused us.
"In 2007, who was the CJN? Kutigi. Once more, a Muslim from the North. Following 8 months or thereabouts, he excused the case.
"Again in 2011, on the grounds that I was so persevering, Musdafa, a Fulani man like me, from Jigawa, neighbor to my state, was CJN. He excused my case.
"I've taken you round this to demonstrate that our concern isn't nationality or religion. It is ourselves.
"I would not surrender. I had attempted to wear Agbada after what befallen me in Khaki. Something was done to me, since I did something to other people. You know it. Eventually, I myself was captured, shipped off confinement, and they were offered back what they had taken. I was there for three and a quarter years. This is Nigeria.
"I trust students of history and intelligent people would report this, since it's anything but a phenomenal condition of political turn of events. Let our grandkids and incredible grandkids perceive how we went along. We didn't get it as simple as others might suspect. Not on the grounds that God has given us extraordinary populace and assets. We have endured along the line.
"I attempt to make reference to these things since you got yourselves together, utilized your assets, energies with no contribution from me. I can't thank you enough. I'm appreciative to you and to Nigerians on the grounds that in 2019, I visited every one of the states, individuals that ended up seeing me the nation over (on the grounds that I'm committed to serve Nigeria and Nigerians), the adoration is certified.
"Say thanks to God that throughout the long term, they can't blame me for defilement. What's more, I've been everything; Governor, Minister of Petroleum Resources, Head of State, President and in my subsequent term. I thank you that no one constrained you, however you got together, utilized your energy, time and assets, I many thanks. I guarantee you, history will do you equity."
