British Broadcasting Corporation, BBC recently compiled a list of Africa’s best quotes of 2015 and our very own President Mohammadu Buhari topped the list.
His “I belong to everybody and I belong to nobody” can now officially be termed Africa’s most iconic quote of 2015.
On the day of his historic inauguration in May, Buhari said “I belong to everybody and I belong to nobody”
Buhari’s “We must change our lawless habits, our attitude to public office and public trust. We must change our unruly behaviour in schools, hospitals, market places, motor parks, on the roads, in homes and offices.
“To bring about change, we must change ourselves by being law-abiding citizens” also came second.
President Buhari talked about change on Nigeria’s independence anniversary.
South Africa’s Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini’s “The time for vision has come. I request our South African government to help us clean our land of lice. We need to remove all itching bedbugs and lay them bare in the sun.
“We request that all foreigners should take their baggage and be sent back” came third.
The Zulu king still denies that this quote fueled the xenophobic attacks in South Africa.
