BUHARI: Nigerians can live anywhere in Nigeria without restriction, and FG will ensure that
President Muhammadu Buhari Saturday in Daura, Katsina State, said Nigerians have the constitutional right to live, work and raise their families anywhere in the country without restrictions.
Receiving the Governor of Katsina State, Alhaji Bello Aminu Masari, at his countrymen as part of the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations, President Buhari reiterated that the Federal Government would guarantee the security of everyone in the country, and ensure protection of all Nigerians from harassments by reasons of their states of origin, tribes or ethnic backgrounds.
Assuring all Nigerians of their safety, the President said: “Every Nigerian has a right to live, work and thrive in every part of the country, irrespective of their backgrounds.’’
Speaking to newsmen after the visit, Governor Masari said President Buhari had brought so much honour and pride to his home state by living a life of integrity, fairness and kindness to all, a reflection of his fear of God.

The governor was accompanied on the visit by the Emir of Daura, Alhaji Faruk Umar Faruk and members of his cabinet.

This sounds more like a pledge to Nigerians, we shall see how long it will take the federal government to make this happen. I’m sure Buhari will still fail Nigerians, like they’ve always done.

You don’t have to think Buhari will fail, he’s a success and the Arewa Youths causing problems have reversed their deadline, so just calm down, Buhari is in charge

All Nigerians know this, it’s is good the president himself re-established this as a fact for everyone. Anyone who intends to cause trouble, the federal government will handle them duly.
