President Muhammadu Buhari says opposition does not mean
hostility, enmity or antagonism.
Buhari said this on Friday at a meeting with leaders of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) and that of the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP).
The president said democracy needs opposition, but one which is
vibrant and responsible.
He said the meeting was not a party occasion or a political
gathering but a symbol of the country’s unity.
“Multi-party democracy is a very tried and tested form of
government. Opposition does not mean hostility, enmity or
antagonism. Democracy needs opposition, one which is vibrant but
responsible,” Buhari said.
“This visit signifies the unity of Nigeria. It is not a party
occasion. It is not a political gathering. It is a symbol of our
national unity. It is also an expression of the maturity of our
democracy.
“I am very pleased to see you assembled here all shades of
opinion in Nigeria. Please convey to our countrymen and women in
your respective states my deep gratitude to all those who prayed
for my recovery.
“I am imploring all Nigerians to continue praying for peace and
prosperity in Nigeria.”
