President Muhammadu Buhari has stated that ethnicity and religion are not to blame for the country’s numerous issues, but rather “we ourselves” for fundamental inequalities..

President Buhari in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Chief Femi Adesina came to this conclusion after reflecting on the complexities of the Nigerian condition.
