Determined to lead by example, President-elect Muhammadu Buhari has instructed police and military personnel attached to him to respect traffic regulations during his movements.
In a statement released by his media team in Abuja, Buhari said obeying the law would be the guiding philosophy of his administration, adding “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, and that when leaders treat the country’s laws with contempt, they send the wrong message to the citizens.
He lamented a situation where other citizens are punished at traffic points and public roads because of the “arrogant lawlessness of the leaders.”
The president-elect advised military and police detail to abide by his philosophy of “bringing the rule of law in the conduct of leaders during their movements on public roads.” (Leadership)
