He said,
⁣
“I believe I was about the only African among the less developed countries the President of the United States invited.
⁣
⁣When I was in his office, only myself and himself, only God is my witness, he looked at me in the face, he asked, ‘why are you killing Christians?’⁣”

The President said that it took a lot of restraint on his part not to flare up and that he hoped his emotions on the day didn’t betray him.⁣ He said,
⁣
“I wonder, if you were the person, how you will react? I hope what I was feeling inside did not betray my emotion, so I told him that the problem between the cattle rearers and stagnant farmers, I know is older than me not to talk of him. I think I am a couple of years older than him”.
