President Muhammadu Buhari has
revealed that he wants Nigerians to remember him as a leader that put the
country on the path to self-sufficiency through agriculture.
He also said that he would love
to be remembered as a leader who reset the ‘buttons’ on almost every aspect of
Nigeria’s national life.
According to him, the federal
government under his leadership would also not rest on its oars until the rots
created in the nation’s political and electoral space by preceding government
were cleared.
In an interview with African
Economy magazine, President Buhari said: “We are doing our best, and we will
continue to do so. God is kind to us, giving us good rains and rich harvest for
two consecutive years, and very soon, we would not have cause to import grains.
“We would be remembered as the
government that put Nigeria on the path of food self-sufficiency. We would feed
ourselves and export food, as well. The economy will be diversified and would
be resilient to crash in oil prices in the international market.
“I will also love this
administration to be remembered as one that met a vandalised Nigeria, and reset
the buttons on almost all areas of national life — political, social, economic,
local and international image.
“I also want this government to
be remembered as one that cleaned up the political space, especially in the
area of elections.
“We would bequeath clean
electioneering to the country, secure our land within and without, and give
Nigerians a pride of place locally and internationally. We will do our best,
offer honest leadership, and surely God will crown the efforts.”

ReplyDeleteBuhari will surely loose if he dares to re-contest. Another detribalised-hausa man will be much preferred than him, because Nigerians are tired of hunger,pains,insecurity and death.
