Senator and founder of Silverbird group, Ben Murray Bruce said he will fight president Muhammadu Buhari but not now because he is the president
.
He disclose this during an interview with Peace Hyde on Forbes Africa
Television programme.
He said:Buhari is the president today; he is my president. I must
respect him regardless of what I feel.
“In 2019 we can fight but right now I want the economy to grow. If I
take the position that I want to destroy APC and destroy Nigeria, will
there be any Nigeria for me to fix in 2019?
“So it’s a dumb move to try to destroy your president or somebody you
hate and destroy your country in the process. I’ll fight Buhari in 2019
but today he is my president; I will support him.”
He continued:
“The Western press don’t like you. don’t be fooled. They see you as a
product and sometimes you have value. They don’t see you as the
destination for any major event, they will hit you hard,” he said.
“My greatest goal in life is to support the poor and I support them for
two reasons. One, they are poor and they need help. Second is that if
you don’t support them, they will kill you. The rich uses the poor to
kill the rich. They kidnap, rape and maim you. We have a serious
problem in this country.”
The business mogul called on Buhari to appoint a minister of common
sense to solve the problems of Nigeria.
“A lot of people in government do dumb things. I’ve told successive
presidents in this country to appoint a minister of common sense.
“The minister of common sense will not have a budget. All the minister
would do is to think about Nigeria and find solutions to the problems of
Nigeria without thinking about enriching himself.”im regardless of what I feel.
