Former interim National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and former Governor of Osun State, Chief Bisi Akande, has encouraged President Muhammadu Buhari to feel at home whenever he visits Lagos or other South-West states, claiming that he is always in a rush.

The people, Akande said the President, would like to show him hospitality.

At the Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos, on Thursday, Akande made the statement at the Public Presentation of his autobiography, titled “My Participations,” which was attended by President Buhari, governors, senators, APC chieftains, and a host of others.

In his vote of appreciation, the celebrant and author of the book, Akande, said he did not envy President Buhari over the criticizing comments on the issues of insecurity and the state of the nation, stating, “you applied to be Nigeria President.”

He said, “I want to thank my host Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, for hosting us, he has done a wonderful job, we admire you, we love you, you are showing us that you are young and that you are capable of doing big things, thank you very much.

“Distinguished ladies and gentlemen, in the olden days I will burst into tears, but today I am very happy.

“I am only uncomfortable, that each time our President is coming here, he is always in a hurry.

“He is our President, we love him, he is one of us, we always want him to relax, and come and stay with us, have dinner with us, let our children eat with him, touch his clothes, and let him know that we love him.

“But his handlers never recognized that he is no longer growing younger, they think he is still a soldier, they match him everywhere.

“Thank you for coming, I pray for a successful tenure in office.

“We love you because you love Nigeria.

“We want Nigeria to be United, we want Nigeria to be peaceful, we want Nigeria to be prosperous.

“You and I want Nigeria, Nigeria is not yours alone, because you are our leaders, we accuse you of every move that is wrong.

“Even though when we know that we are not being fear to ourselves.

“We know we are fraudulent, we know we are deceitful, we know we are cheaters.

“Of all the things we are doing wrong, we blame you, I don’t sympathize with you, you applied for the job.

“May your tenure be prosperous, may Nigeria be greater in your time, May Nigeria be United may Nigeria be Peaceful.”
