Finally!!! President Buhari Speaks On Retirement
President Muhammadu Buhari speaks on retirement; On Wednesday said he would retire after finishing what programmes and policies he started in his first term.
He spoke in New York, at the sidelines of the 74th UN General Assembly, when he met with President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa of Portugal.
Buhari explained why Nigeria was investing heavily on infrastructural development.
"We are a large country, with vast population and poor infrastructure. But we need people to come and invest, that's why we are focusing on roads, rail, power, airports, and many others. Without infrastructure, investment would be slow," the President said.
He thanked Portugal for the "steadfast support" it has given Nigeria on many fronts, adding that "concern about global issues is genetic for Portugal."
The President said the Sahel was awash with illegal small arms, exacerbating the security situation in the North-east of Nigeria, but added that the government was doing a lot to bring things under control.
On security in the Gulf of Guinea, he solicited for the support of Portugal, saying most of the stolen crude oil from Nigeria and other countries pass through the region.
Buhari said in the second term of his administration, "we will consolidate on what we started in the first term, so that I can thereafter retire in peace and comfort."
President de Sousa commended what he called "the excellent relations" between his country and Nigeria, noting: "We have Portuguese companies in Nigeria; we share the same opinion on international issues; we share your worries; follow closely what is happening in the Sahel, and we support you in fighting terrorism."
Portugal hosts Euro-African Forum next year, and President de Sousa invited President Buhari to declare the event open in Lisbon, "even if it's for half a day."
He said it would be a great honour to have the Nigerian leader in Portugal, "and we have been waiting for you to visit for three years. Many African leaders have come, but we want Nigeria."

Celebrity gist
Curvy Ghanaian actress, Tracey Boakye, who few days ago, said her claim of paying men for sex was a joke, has made yet another questionable statement - this time, she is saying she has great respect for roadside prostitutes. Decrying the ' commercial sex workers ' tag on prostitutes when other women go about having sex with their boyfriends for material gains all in the name of 'courtship', the Ghanaian actress maintained that these prostitutes took bold steps to make money and support their needs. She said in an interview with Sammy Flex, "In this world when you're not married and you have sex, its prostitution. Whether you stand outside or do it indoors. Ghanaians we have a problem.

If you'd ask me I'll choose those who stand by the...
