quoted as saying focus should be on development.
The president made this comment on Thursday, December 1 while at
a meeting with the Council of South-East Traditional Rulers at
the State House.
He said: “The question of having another country out of Nigeria
is going to be very difficult. From 1914, we have more than 200
cultures living with one another.
God had endowed this country with natural resources and talented
people.
We should concentrate on these and be very productive.”

from the new railway architecture being put in place by his
administration.
On the issue of having more Igbos in the key positions in the
country, Buhari said he was “very conscious of the sensitivities
of the South East” which was why four of the five key cabinets
were occupied from people from the region.
The president urged the Igbo elders to urge the people in the
region to give his administration a chance and also applauded
the good work of the ministers from the region in the federal
government, saying that they are doing very well for the
country.
President Buhari assured that the issue of cattle rustling and
kidnapping would be his next focus as “we have managed to calm
down the North-East.”
On the issue of corruption, President Buhari noted that the
judiciary needs cleansing as some trial dated back to when Chief
Olusegun Obasanjo was president.
“We are asking the judiciary to clean itself. Nigerians are
tired of waiting.
They want some actions.” His Royal Majesty, Eze (Dr) Eberechi N.
Dick (JP) who is the chairman of the South East Council of
Traditional Rulers made requests for roads other projects, He
also assured the president of their continued support for his
administration.
