Muhammadu Buhari (President-elect) |
This, according to a statement signed by
the Director of Media and Publicity of the All Progressives Congress
Presidential campaign council, Mallam Garba Shehu, is a demonstration of
Buhari’s leadership style.
Buhari was quoted as saying obedience to
the law would be the guiding philosophy of his administration, adding
that “without leadership by example, the ordinary citizens would become
copycats of the lawlessness of their leaders.”
The President-elect explained that the
“arrogance of power, lawlessness and disregard for the rights and
convenience of fellow citizens will have no place in his government.”
According to him, for leaders to inspire
respect, they must obey the laws, adding that when leaders treat the
country’s laws with contempt, they would be sending the wrong message to
the citizens.
Buhari lamented a situation where fellow
citizens “are punished at traffic points and public roads because of
the arrogant lawlessness of the leaders.”
He said in a democracy, leaders should
not inflict inconveniences and other unbearable ordeals on the citizens
for their own comfort.
The President-elect advised his military
and police security personnel to be in tune with his philosophy of
“bringing the rule of law to bear on the conduct of leaders during their
movements on public roads.”
