The President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari told Governors on Thursday, March 16, 2017 that he does not need more rest as he is concerned with the challenges facing Nigeria.
The President said this when he turned down an advice by the State Governors asking him to rest for a little longer.
In a statement, the President’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Shehu Garba, said that Buhari turned down the advice of the governors at a meeting of the National Economic Council (NEC) which held at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The statement quoted Buhari as saying: “I will not rest until I address those issues that affect our people. One of these basic things is the issue of salaries.
“It is most important that workers are able to feed their families, pay rent and school fees, then other things can follow.”
He commended the Governors for not considering political affiliations in their goodwill messages and prayers for him while he was away from the country.
