Katsina State residents have pleaded with Nigerians to pardon former President Buhari for any offenses he may have caused while in government.
The appeal was made by the locals on May 30 during the Durbar celebration held in the former President’s honor.
In a Channels TV interview, Lawal Ado and Umaru Yusuf, two of the villagers, expressed their happiness at having their kid return home after eight years away.
“We are very very happy that he is back. You know to rule Nigeria is not an easy thing. For somebody to rule Nigeria for eight years and come back home safely, and soundly, one should thank Allah. So, we thank Allah for him and we are very happy for him. The reason we organised this Durbar for him is to show him that his people are still with him and we love him 100 percent, is a human being. What he has done he has done, he can’t complete the job, so we are appealing to Nigerians, if there is anything he has done that is out of place, please forgive him. He is a human being. But for the Jagaban, I know he can do the job. I trust him from what I have been hearing about him.”Lawal said
On his part, Umaru said;
“Buhari is a gentleman, not a thief, is not that collect money just to serve people. He served us, we are very happy. It’s high time for all Nigerians to forgive him. Well, Mr Tinubu is a nice gentleman also. One who likes people very much so I am sure he will continue with what Buhari did.”
