President Muhammadu Buhari says his administration will ensure that the allocation of political appointments is done based on merit.
He said this when he received the leadership of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) led by Reverend Samson Ayokunle on Friday at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
“In the area of allocation of political offices, our focus will be on merit and national spread such that every part of Nigeria will have a sense of belonging,” the President was quoted as saying in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina.
He assured Christian leaders in the country of his commitment to leaving Nigeria better than he met it in 2015.
The President affirmed that his administration would continue to address important national challenges which include security, economy, and corruption.
He informed the CAN leaders who were at the State House to congratulate him on his re-election that the outcome of the just concluded polls underscored the trust Nigerians have in the present leadership in the country.
“We will continue to strive for peaceful co-existence among all Nigerians irrespective of their religious beliefs,” he said.
