“I apologize on behalf of my people because they let me down, a plan was already in place to resettle these people, but lack of working together in government is the problem. I apologize and we are going to move very fast.” The president said.

I was let down by my people. I apologize on their behalf. A plan was made and the people had agreed to move. But it seems there was lack of coordination. I apologise for this, we are now going to move very fast. pic.twitter.com/f7gnMFBVKa
