Begins With Me, This
Day newspaper reports.
The paper says Mr Buhari used the same words as those used by US President
Barack Obama in a speech after winning the election
in 2008.
The report has highlighted this part of Mr Buhari's speech,
(watch from 5.50).
He says:
“We must resist the temptation to fall back on the
same partisanship, pettiness and immaturity that have poisoned our country for
so long. Let us summon a new spirit of responsibility, spirit of service, of
patriotism and sacrifice. Let us all resolve to pitch in and work hard and look
after, not only ourselves but one another.”
This is what Mr Obama said in 2008, although the
quotes are from different sections of the speech:
Let's resist the temptation to fall back on the same
partisanship, pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so
long...
So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of
responsibility, where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look
after not only ourselves but each other."
Watch Mr Obama's speech.
One section comes in at 11.49 and then at 12.18:
