Friday, August 25th, 2017, State House, Abuja,
President Mohammodu Buhari today, Friday, August 25th,
2017 hosted select-few leaders of the APC and PDP at the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja.
The President, in his address to the visiting politicians expressed his
gratitude for finding time, from their busy schedules to honour the clarion
call. Below is the excerpt of his address.
‘’I thank you sincerely, collectively and individually for
finding time from your busy schedules to come all the way to Abuja and welcome
me back home.
This visit signifies the unity of Nigeria. It is not a party
occasion. It is not a political gathering. It is a symbol of our National
unity. It is also an expression of the maturity of our democracy.
Multi-party democracy is a very
tried and tested form of government. Opposition does not mean hostility, enmity
or antagonism. Democracy needs opposition, one which is vibrant but
responsible.
I am very pleased to see you
assembled here all shades of opinion in Nigeria. Please convey to our
countrymen and women in your respective states my deep gratitude to all those
who prayed for my recovery. I am imploring all Nigerians to continue praying
for peace and prosperity in Nigeria.
I thank you so much God bless the
Federal Republic of Nigeria.’’
