Shehu Aide to President Muhammadu Buhari, Garba Shehu, on Sunday, disclosed that his principal’s recent apology to Nigerians does not imply wrongdoing.
Recall that President Buhari recently apologized to Nigerians for his government’s actions and inactions and asked for forgiveness. However, Shehu made the disclosure while speaking on Buhari’s achievement after eight years of governing in an interview on Channels Television.
Insisting that the President has performed exceptionally well, he added that Buhari is satisfied with his achievements. “The President feels fulfilled. He has done exceptionally well as best as he can in the circumstances in which he has found himself.
He is satisfied going home for the next president to contribute and build based on the foundations he established, Shehu said.
He added that the President’s apology does not imply that any wrongdoing has been admitted.
“Eggs cannot be walked on without being broken. It is not at all conceivable. Therefore, President Muhammadu Buhari’s apology did not signify an admission of guilt on his part, he continued.
Buhari may have unintentionally offended some people, Shehu said, but he is not a malicious person, and his decision to apologize shows accountability.
Regarding security, Shehu argued that Buhari has made progress against the Boko Haram insurgents and that the military is now better prepared to handle the nation’s security issues.
“The Army has acquired so much technology, including drones. As a result, President Muhammadu Buhari is in office.
