He said this in a congratulatory message to Muslim faithful on Eid el Kabir celebration.

While urging Nigerians to cultivate the habit of peaceful coexistence amongst all religious adherents in the country, Senator Buhari said ‘‘Peace is key for development and without it, living will be difficult.”
The APC lawmaker representing Oyo North at the upper chamber of the National Assembly stated further that “I am appealing to all Nigerians to use this period to make sacrifices of tolerance for peace to reign in the country.
