President elect, Gen. Buhari has reportedly ordered
aides and security personnel attached to him to always
obey traffic regulations during all his movements in any
part of the country. In a statement released and signed
by his media team in Abuja yesterday May 6th, Buhari
said leadership without example will cause ordinary
citizens to copy the lawlessness of their leaders. Above

"Without leadership by example, the ordinary citizens
would become copycats of the lawlessness of their
leaders”
He went further by stating that “arrogance of power,
lawlessness and disregard for the rights and
convenience of fellow citizens would have no place in
his government”.
He said in a democracy, leaders should not
inconvenience their citizens or cause them to experience
unbearable ordeals 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.”
