President Muhammadu Buhari on June 19 addressed Nigerians as he spoke in his home town Daura, Katsina state, in the course of his homage to the Emir of Daura, Alhaji Umar Faruk Umar.
According to NAN, after attending the Juma’at prayer the country leader delivered a speech, in which he urged people to be patient and accept democracy as a lifestyle.
"If Nigerians continuously follow the tenets of democracy the country will always be at peace since democracy on its own with its institutions has the mechanism for resolving conflicts peacefully."
Buhari called on those dissatisfied with the general elections outcome to seek redress through democratic means.
The All Progressives Congress politician also noted that in 2002 when he joined politics, many people did not give him a chance because they knew his antecedents as a military officer. However, the results of the recently concluded polls showed that God had chosen him to lead the country.
