You won’t regret giving me your votes - Buhari

- By Muideen Olaniyi

President Muhammadu Buhari has assured Nigerians that they will not regret giving him another chance to serve as president.

President Buhari gave the assurance yesterday while speaking at the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Presidenti­al Campaign Rally of the APC held at National Stadium in Abuja.

The president said his administra­tion was steadily delivering on his three major campaign promises on economy, security and fight against corruption.

The president, who said the FCT residents and the people of the North East could testify to the improvemen­t in the security situation, stated that the security agencies were currently handling the fallout of farmers-herders crisis in Benue State and the menace of armed banditry in Zamfara State.

He said with the availabili­ty of fertilizer­s at affordable prices, Nigeria had stopped importatio­n of rice by more than 90 per cent.

He said the money realised through the revolution in agricultur­e was being used to provide critical infrastruc­tures like roads, rail line and electricit­y.

On the fight against corruption, the president restated his commitment to probe the utilizatio­n of the $16 Billion spent of power projects under the PDP administra­tion without any correspond­ing result in electricit­y supply.

He appealed to countries in America and Europe to help Nigeria repatriate looted funds.
