President Buhari has asked Nigerians to be fair in their assessment of his government and what it has achieved from 2015 to date.
The President stated this in Kafanchan, Kaduna state today, January 20.
Giving the assurances of the determination of his administration “to hand over a better Nigeria than the one we inherited,” he urged Nigerians to be fair in their assessment of what his government has achieved especially on the campaign promises he made ahead of the 2015 elections.
In an address at the palace of Alhaji Muhammadu Isa 11, the Emir of Jama’a, President Buhari said “we are doing our efforts to consolidate the system for the good of the people because they matter.”
To this end, he spoke about the use of the police and the military, in dealing with security situations but urged Nigerians to develop confidence in civil authority to build a system “free of chaos.”
“Nobody,” he warned emphatically, “should be allowed to raise an army of thugs to force himself on the people.“must be very clear” he added.
The Nigerian Xpress has reported that President Muhammadu Buhari has declared that no government or administration since 1999, has done what he has done for the country in six years.
Buhari disclosed this in his nationwide broadcast to Nigerians to mark the nation’s 61st independence.
However, listing his achievements, Buhari said he has done well in infrastructure, social care, governance, Nigeria’s image and influence in Africa and the international community. On security, he enjoined Nigerians to work together to save the country.
“A lot has been achieved in the last six years on many fronts: in infrastructure, social care, governance, Nigeria’s image and influence in Africa and the international community. But critics misdiagnose incremental progress as stagnation.
