Senator Shehu Sani commends Catholic bishops for telling President Buhari the true state of affairs in the country (Details, pics)

Senator Shehu Sani has hailed some Catholic bishops for telling President Muhammadu Buhari the true state of affairs in the country.

The lawmaker who represents Kaduna central at the National Assembly in a tweet on Friday, February 9, said while some visitors to the presidential villa sing praises when they visit Muhammadu Buhari, the clerics spoke the truth and the president humbly listened.

We reported earlier that President Buhari said the policy proposed by federal government in response to the frequent clashes between herdsmen and farmers in the country is not meant to colonise any part of the country.

Premium Times reports that while receiving Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) led by Archbishop Ignatius Kaigama, on Thursday, February 8, in Abuja, President Buhari said the intention of government is to create grazing locations for cattle rearers, which has now been misconstrued as another form of colonisation.

Condemning recent spate of killings in Benue, Adamawa, Taraba, and Zamfara states, the president said security operatives would ensure prosecution of perpetrators and all those found with illegal arms in the affected areas.

Buhari told the Catholic bishops that he would not be tired of recounting remarkable progress recorded in the areas of security, economy and the fight against corruption.

On the fight against corruption, the president said the government would be guided by the law in the investigation and prosecution of all graft-related cases.
