2019: Buhari promises not to let Nigerians down

Pr e s i d e n t Muhammadu Buhari has accepted his nomination to seek for second term in 2019, saying he would not let Nigerians down.

Accepting his nomination at the convention the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja, Buhari enumerated the successes recorded by his administration since 2015 to date, saying change has come.

“As I stand today before you, there is no honour greater than the confidence of given to me by all of you when you affirmed my nomination. I thank you for your support. I thank you for your guidance. I thank you for staying committed to the CHANGE agenda.

“I accept this honour as a tribute and mark of confidence to carry the responsibility as we all join hands to continue the good work of the APC government to 2023 and beyond. We are very proud of our record from 2015 to date,” he said.

He said they have arrested and checked the slide to anarchy on the security and economic fronts.

“Boko Haram is reduced to dastardly attacks on soft targets. Normalcy has returned to much of North East and neighbouring North West states.

“Our currency has stabilised. Our reserves are now $44 billion, a lot higher than we had in 2015,” he said.

Buhari also said “We are attacking corruption head-on. With international support we are recovering Nigerian stolen assets and applying them to infrastructural developments.

“Today the corrupt are facing the wrath of law and leakages have been generally blocked. Mr. Chairman, Your Excellencies, Members of the APC.

“We can be proud of our achievements. Change has come. Ladies and Gentlemen, fellow Nigerians, think how much PDP Governments earned between 1999 to 2015. Think what they did with it.

Infrastructure down! “Security down! 18 local governments of Nigeria under control of a hostile army of insurgents. Reserves depleted! Bankruptcy around the corner. What did they do with your money? “
