God will judge past Nigeria’s leaders, says Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari has said that most youths from the northern part of the country are either uneducated or school dropouts. He also said God would judge past leaders who misgoverned the country.

Buhari said because Nigerian media only do what they like, they refused to highlight the explanations in his recent statement in which he was widely quoted as describing a lot of Nigerian youths as lazy.

The President said this in an interview he had with the Voice of America, Hausa service, in Washington, United States on Tuesday.

When asked about his reported comment on Nigerian youths while in London for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, Buhari said the media only preferred to report what they like instead of concentrating on developmental journalism.
