Buhari
President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday in Daura, Katsina State, urged businessmen, contractors and other privileged Nigerians who are beneficiaries of government’s patronage to always engage in Corporate Social Responsibility instead of seeking to favour individuals with gifts.
President Buhari, who visited the Emir of Daura, Dr. Umar Faruk Umar, at his palace, said pointedly, “I don’t want tour cheque. Go and assist our communities” instead of trying to return kickbacks to public officers, including his office.
He added: “We don’t want cheques from anyone or organisation as returns or influence of any kind. Let them remember their Corporate Social Responsibilities,” he added.

President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday warned contractors and businessmen who have enjoyed government’s patronage against bribing him and other top government officials, including ministers.
Rather, he advised the affected contractors to be alive to their Corporate Social Responsibilities (CSR) through which they could give back to the immediate community where they operate.
This is just as the President’s son, Yusuf Buhari, was named the new Talban Daura by the Emir of Daura, Dr Umar Faruk Umar.
The President, according to a statement issued by his spokesman, Garba Shehu, gave the warning against bribery, while on a visit to the Emir of Daura, urging businessmen, contractors and other privileged Nigerians who are beneficiaries of government’s patronage to always engage in CSR, instead of seeking to favor individuals with gifts.
