Akande urges Buhari to spend more time in Southwest

Former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Chief Bisi Akande has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to always spend more time in the Southwest whenever he visits.

Akande, who spoke during the public presentation of ‘My Participations’, his autobiography, said President Buhari was always in a hurry whenever he is in Lagos.

He added: “I am uncomfortable that each time our President is coming here, he is always in a hurry.

“He is our President. We love him. He is one of us. We always want him to relax, and come and stay with us, have dinner with us, let our children eat with him, touch his clothes, and let him know that we love him.

“But his handlers never recognise that he is not growing younger, they think he is still a soldier so they match him everywhere.

“Thank you for coming, I pray for a successful tenure in office. We love you because you love Nigeria.

“May your tenure be prosperous. May Nigeria be greater in your time. May Nigeria be united. May Nigeria be peaceful.”
