President Muhammadu Buhari held his maiden presidential media chat yesterday, December 30 in the Aso Rock villa in Abuja.
The panel of interviewers were Kayode Akintemi (Channels TV), Ngozi Anyaegbulam (Media World International), Munir Dan Ali (Daily Trust) and Ibanga Isine.
Here are 10 of the most powerful quotes he made during the chat
On Boko Haram, Chibok girls
1. “We are looking for a credible Boko Haram leadership that will convince us that Chibok girls are alive. Our priority is on orphaned IDPs to get them back to schools, resettle them and giving them hope.”
2. “I am honest with you, I don’t know whether Chibok girls are alive.”
3. “If Boko Haram continues with suicide bombings, we might consider banning wearing Hijab.”
On fight against corruption
4. “Thirty years ago as Head of State, we collected those we perceived to be corrupt and put them in protective custody, until they prove they were not guilty. At present, those suspected of being corrupt are innocent until they are proven guilty.”
5. “Nigeria doing quite well in anti-corruption war, treasury looters will eventually end up in courts.”
6. “Money has been recovered, whatever has been recovered we have to end up in courts.”
7. “I swore by the Holy Quran to protect and obey the constitution, no one will be above the law.”
8. “If you find any of my 36 Ministers with a corruption case in court name them so I can look into it.”
On assets
9. “I have declared my assets four times in the past. You have the constitutional right to go to the relevant government agency to go and seek for it.”
On Biafra issue
10. “We will not allow anyone create a state within the Nigerian state.”
11. “There’s a treasonable charge against Kanu and I hope the court will listen to the case against him.”
On naira devaluation
12. “I need to be convinced. If you devalue the naira, against what? Dollar, sterling, yen, French Franc?”
On Dasuki
13. “If you see the kind of atrocities people like Dasuki committed you won’t give them bail.”
