My security officials must obey traffic laws – Buhari
The
President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari, has instructed police and
military security personnel attached to him to respect traffic
regulations during his movements.
In a statement released by his media team in
Abuja, General Buhari said law abiding would be the guiding philosophy
of his administration,.
“Without leadership by example, the ordinary citizens would become copycats of the lawlessness of their leaders.”
The
President-elect
explained that the “arrogance of power, lawlessness and
disregard for the rights and convenience of fellow citizens would have
no place in his government.”
According
to him, for leaders to inspire respect, they must obey the laws of
country, adding that when leaders treat the country’s laws with
contempt, they might send the wrong message to the citizens.
General
Buhari lamented a situation where fellow citizens are punished at
traffic points and public roads because of the “arrogant lawlessness of
the leaders.”
He
said in a democracy, leaders should not inflict inconveniences and
other unbearable ordeals on the citizens for their own comfort.
The
President-elect advised his military and police security personnel to
be in tune with his philosophy of “bringing the rule of law in the
conduct of leaders during their movements on public roads.”
