A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr. Seye Oladejo has come out to say that he is sure Nigeria will overcome its present challenges.

Seye recently revealed that the country will eventually grow from its current poor state to become a stronger nation.

According to him, the fact that Nigeria is still united at 60 despite the several issues the country faces is worth celebrating.

He added that there might be several issues that need to be addressed, but he still does not foresee a break up anytime soon.

His words, “I don’t think Nigeria can break but there are germane issues we need to address.

“If we are having agitations for break up, it means that those issues are now at boiling points and needed to be addressed, really, I don’t foresee a breakup.”

“We are still together at 60 and we should be grateful full for that. The challenges are enormous but we can do better.

“Have we been able to fulfil our dreams at Independence? The answer is no. I think all of us could be held responsible for this.”

”Everyone has a part to play in making this country great at different levels to make the country great.

“If we can play our part to fulfil the promises and potential of Nigeria at Independence, I believe the country can be greater than what we have today.”

Muhammadu Buhari GCFR (born 17 December 1942) is a Nigerian politician currently serving as the President of Nigeria, in office since 2015. He is a retired major general in the Nigerian Army and previously served as the nation’s head of state from 31 December 1983 to 27 August 1985, after taking power in a military coup d’état. The term Buharism is ascribed to the Buhari military government.

He unsuccessfully ran for the office of president of Nigeria in the 2003, 2007, and 2011 general elections. In December 2014, he emerged as the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress for the March 2015 general elections. Buhari won the election, defeating the incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan. This marked the first time in the history of Nigeria that an incumbent president lost to an opposition candidate in a general election. He was sworn in on 29 May 2015. In February 2019, Buhari was re-elected President, defeating his closest rival Atiku Abubakar by over 3 million votes.

Buhari has stated that he takes responsibility for anything over which he presided during his military rule, and that he cannot change the past. He has described himself as a “converted democrat”.

Muhammadu Buhari was born to a Fulani family on 17 December 1942, in Daura, Katsina State, to his father Hardo Adamu, a Fulani chief, and mother Zulaihat. He is the twenty-third child of his father. Buhari was raised by his mother, after his father died when he was about four years old.
