President Muhammadu Buhari has vowed that no individual will be allowed to destabilize the country.

A statement released by his Special Adviser, Femi Adesina on Tuesday in Abuja, urged Nigerians to resist all agents bent on breaking the law and order in the country.

‘‘We have the land, we have the resources, and we have the people. But I do not know why people will allow themselves to be successfully subverted to destabilize their own country,’’ the President said at an Iftar dinner with Governors, Ministers, and Heads of Government Agencies.

President Buhari, who thanked the Governors and Ministers for honoring his invitation to break the Ramadan fast, expressed confidence that despite the current security challenges, the country will succeed.

In the forthcoming general elections, the President affirmed that being beneficiary of free, fair, and credible elections, the introduction of technology and the Permanent Voters Card (PVCs) will make it impossible for anyone to claim millions of votes again in the country.

Chairman, Nigeria Governors Forum, and Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, commended President Buhari for demonstrating resilience and determination at a crucial period in Nigeria’s history.

‘‘We have a leader who is not distracted by momentary challenges but has continued to commit to the renewal of our nation and we, governors, ministers, and heads of government agencies are equally dedicated to building a better Nigeria, on your watch,’’ he said.

Noting that this year’s Holy month of Ramadan coincided with the just concluded Christian Lenten period, the Governor of Ekiti said it holds enormous spiritual value on the benefits of renewal, sacrifice, almsgiving, forgiveness, and healing for the individual as well as the nation.
