The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Gen Muhammadu Buhari has regretted that majority of Nigerians will be celebrating today’s Christmas in abject poverty and misery.
According to him, Nigerians are living under this poor condition, “not because they have committed any grievous sin, but because the system of production and distribution of national resources have been rigged against the vast majority of our people”.
The former head of state, who made this observation in his Christmas message to the nation yesterday wondered why “in a nation where a few individuals could raise N21billion because they want to make their friend President, millions of citizens, who truly own the resources being accumulated by a few, are left to suffer in sorrow, tears and blood”.
Buhari expressed dismay that the Christmas celebration was taking place at a period of serious security challenges across the length and breadth of the country.
He however promised that the 2015 Christmas celebration will be better for Nigerians.
He said, “We promise that, by Christmas 2015 administration would have brought our efficiency in management and allocation of public resources to make the inter-state roads smoother and easier to ride”.
