Buhari, Nigeria President-elect
|
Determined to lead by example,
President-elect Muhammadu Buhari has instructed police and military personnel
attached to him to respect traffic regulations during his movements.
In
a statement released by his media team in Abuja, Buhari said obeying the law
would be the guiding philosophy of his administration, adding “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 would have no place
in his government.”
According
to him, for leaders to inspire respect, they must obey the laws of country, and
that when leaders treat the country’s laws with contempt, they send the wrong
message to the citizens.
He
lamented a situation where other citizens are punished at traffic points and
public roads because of the “arrogant lawlessness of the leaders.”
The president-elect advised
military and police detail to abide by his philosophy of “bringing the rule of
law in the conduct of leaders during their movements on public roads.”
