Isaac Newton-Farris Jnr, the nephew of American civil right activist, Martin Luther King Junior has enjoined Nigerians to unite and join hands with President Muhammadu Buhari to complete the work he began in setting Nigeria on the right path and building a country every Nigerian would be proud of.
Farris made the call in an interview with newsmen in Abuja after a get-together in honour of the visiting Luther family who are in Nigeria.
According
to Vanguard, the luncheon was organised by the Senior Special Assistant to
the President on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora, Mrs Abike Dabiri- Erewa to mark
the first Black History Month in Nigeria.
“My
advice to Nigeria is this., I know that a lot of Nigerians feel a little
displeasure with President Buhari moving too slow on some of his reforms. I
will counsel Nigerians to say give this man the time he needs to do the job
that he is doing. He is one of the most legitimate leaders that the continent
has produced. And he would if you all just stick to him I assure you he is
going to make Nigeria a better place,” he said.
He
said that though it was not easy to say as a visitor but Nigerian would benefit
if they supported him to complete his work According to him, “I know for
instance what your citizens will say to me, he will identify the corruption but
won’t do anything, he says until the investigation is done. But that is the
proper way to do that.”
