Almost every speech made by Nigerians is negative due to bad economy – Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari has noted that Nigerians are presently making negative speeches about the living condition in the country. He therefore enjoined Christian members of the National Assembly not to negatively comment on the social and economic problems affecting the country.

He made this call in Abuja through the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, while addressing lawmakers present at the 7th National Prayer Breakfast organized by the Parliamentary Fellowship Group.

“I say this because almost every speech today in Nigeria is a negative speech both in churches and in the public domain. It is always about how hard living in Nigeria is. “So as leaders, we must strive to talk about our circumstances in positive terms and resist the urge to transmit to our people a sense of failure and despondency.


“Today leaders have forgotten about looking at the positive side of issues and opportunities the current situation presents for good.

“For me, I have unflinching faith that Nigeria will emerge from this crisis strong, united, prosperous, and secured in the lifetime of this government. We should acknowledge the times we are living in and interpret realities with a sense of history and understanding.”

In a goodwill message, President of Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Rev. Sup Ayokunle urged the lawmakers to as ambassadors of Christ, be carriers of good news who will always stand up for what is good and right in the eyes of God and in the interest of the people they lead.
