Her words: “President Muhammadu Buhari will not be party to illegality as he is a law-abiding citizen, who loves the people and will not put the interest of a few lawless individuals above that of the majority.
“Nobody can impose somebody on you. Let nobody intimidate you with federal might. We have a law-abiding, peace-loving president who will not allow anarchy. He loves his country, Nigeria, more than anything and he wants progress for his country.
“He is not like the crazy lot who don't care about anything else but themselves and are ready to destroy anything and everything in order to get what they want. Our president is not like that.”
