Walter Carrington urges Nigerians to help the President make the country great again

While delivering a lecture titled NigeriaandthefutureoftheBlackWorld, at the First Eminent Lecture Series of the University of Benin, UNIBEN, former American Ambassador to Nigeria, Ambassador Walter Carrington, yesterday said the American government and other world powers are prepared to assist Nigeria regain its position as the giant of Africa because they believe President Muhammadu Buhari iss an honest leader and is “tough enough to turn this country around.”

He said Nigeria, with its rich potentials, ought to be a leading light in the world economy. He also encouraged Nigerians to work with the President to fish out corrupt officials and help make Nigeria great again.

He added:

“As a private citizen Buhari lived modestly and since taking on the duties of president, he has set a refreshing example of financial transparency which all public officials should and must emulate. I believe that having been elected democratically as a civilian president, President Buhari will fulfil the third of Abraham Lincoln’s prepositional triad making his a government for the people, a government which cares more for the welfare of the poor majority and disadvantaged than for the unjust enrichment of the privileged few and their enablers who too often in the past have looted the national treasury.”

Ambassador Carrington is married to Dr Arese, from Edo State.
