NEWS UPDATE: Buhari Identifies Nigeria’s 3 Fundamental Problems, Discloses How He Will Solve Them

Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), identified Nigeria’s 3 major problems speaking during his January 22 rally in Sokoto.
Before addressing hundreds of party supporters who came yesterday to the venue to meet their candidate, Buhari shared his opinion during the courtesy to the Sultan of Sokoto and president-general, Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA), Sa’ad Abubakar III, in his palace.
The former military Head of State lamented that over 60
million Nigerian youths are believed to be unemployed
adding however that his administration will resolve this
problem if the APC gets elected in February. Buhari also
promised to strengthen agriculture sector in Nigeria.
The APC candidate identified the 3 serious problems of the nation: insecurity, economic challenges, corruption.
Buhari was quoted as saying by Leadership:
“There are three fundamental issues that is before us in
this country. And these are the question of security, the
question of economy and the question of corruption. All
other things can be under those three fundamental
problems.
“On security, Your Eminence, we asked what we can do
to solve the situation. Luckily, we share the same
profession with you. And from the experiences, I think
we will make sure that the security enforcement agencies, including the military, are once more the pride of Nigeria.
“Unemployment, which is another problem, forms the
vicious cycle of security because of bribery and corruption. With the number of youths, it is estimated that over 60 million Nigerian youths are unemployed whether they go to school or not. We have to do something quickly about it.
“The way we can do something about it is to go to farming, Your Eminence. Farming to make sure how much we can put in that line because of mechanization or increased fertilizer distribution and so on – for extension farmers to get the best. And then, like what is happening in Zamfara about the mining of gold and the effect of lead on people and communities is very clear.
So that we quickly take a lot of the unemployed youths.
Dignitaries in the campaign include, Buhari’s running mate, Prof. Osibanjo, Senator Saraki, APC national chairman, John Odigie-Oyegun and other party faithful.”
It should be recalled that a bomb scare was reported
yesterday ahead of the Sokoto rally, following which the
