Past 18 months most challenging period for Nigeria – Buhari

80

President Muhammadu Buhari has stated that the past 18 months have been the most challenging in the history of Nigeria.

The president stated this today during a televised broadcast to commemorate the 61st anniversary of Nigeria’s independence.

The president’s comment comes as virtually all parts of Nigeria are currently battling one form or another of violent crimes.

President Muhammadu Buhari came into office in 2015 on the strength of his promise to tackle insecurity, fight corruption and improve the economy.

In a related development, President Muhammadu Buhari has alleged that a serving member of the National Assembly is among those financing separatists in the country.

The President said the recent arrest of Nnamdi Kanu and Sunday Igboho reveals high-profile financiers including the lawmaker.

He, however, did not name the lawmaker.
