How much is the price of fuel now?” – President Buhari 2. “We are doing quite well in the fight against corruption, considering the circumstances.”- President Buhari 3. “By the end of the first quarter of 2016 we will inform Nigeria of the progress that has been made” (in relation to the fight against corruption) – President Buhari 4. “We may have to send the young unemployed youth seeking N5k fee to farm to earn the money.” – President Buhari 5. “I am going to make sure that nobody is above the law.” – President Buhari 6. “If you’ve got any evidence about any of my Ministers I accept responsibility.
