President Muhammadu Buhari has said Nigeria under his leadership has witnessed more prosperity than previous administrations in the country.
The president reiterated his government’s determination to provide security and tackle corruption to a standstill.
Buhari spoke in his country home, Daura, Katsina state on Tuesday while addressing leaders of various communities from five Local Government Areas of Daura Emirate, who paid him a visit as part of Eid El-Kabir celebrations.
According to a press statement issued by Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to the President (Media & Publicity), Buhari promised to use his second term in office to improve the lives of Nigerians by paying close attention to the poor and those on the lower rungs of society.
The President noted that he is convinced that majority of Nigerians understand who he is and his mission, on account of which they returned him for a second term in office with larger margin of votes than 2015.
“You know how much I laboured to get here. I ran three times in the past. The fourth time, God used technology to do it for me. The fifth time I ran (February 23, 2019), I went to all the states of the federation. The turnout of crowds was overwhelming.
“Truly, the people know and understand my mission. This is what the votes showed. The administration will dwell on our campaign issues — security, economy and corruption. We will fight for the poor,” the President said.
In his remarks, Yusuf Bello Mai’ Aduwa, one the leaders of the delegation, thanked Nigerians for giving the President a second mandate to lead the country for another four years, stressing that he will not let the country down.
