President Muhammadu Buhari has blamed the complexities in Nigeria on the citizens.
He said it was wrong for anyone to attribute the problems to ethnicity and religion.
“Our problem is not ethnicity or religion, it is ourselves,” Buhari said while receiving members of the Muhammadu Buhari/Osinbajo (MBO) Dynamic Support Group, who visited the Presidential Villa, Abuja, to present a compendium of five years achievements of the administration to him.
The President went into the trajectory of his struggles to get justice at the courts after the 2003, 2007, and 2011 presidential elections to buttress his assertion.
He recalled in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, that people who ruled against him were of his own ethnic stock and religious persuasion, while those who stood up for him were of other faiths and ethnicity.
He added: “After my third appearance in the Supreme Court, I came out to speak to those who were present then. I told them that from 2003, I had spent 30 months in court.
