President Muhammadu Buhari,
Wednesday, said Nigerians know that security and the economy have improved.
He said this in Calabar River
State, when he visited the Obong of Calabar, Edidem Ekpo Okon Abasi-Otu.
He hailed the monarch for his
honesty and maturity in handling major changes in the polity, especially in
infrastructure, assuring him of more interventions that will impact the lives
of Nigerians.
President Buhari said he was
delighted at the forthrightness of the royal father in spelling out some of the
development projects of his administration.
“Nigerians are our witness that
things are not the same way they used to be in terms of security, economy and
fight against corruption.
“I am happy His Majesty is well
briefed and informed about what we have been doing and has been honest in
speaking out,'” he said.
The President assured Nigerians
that money saved from cutting the dependence on food import will be used for
building more infrastructure that will benefit everyone in the country.
He also said the war against
corruption will be fought relentlessly and all those found to have abused trust
will be prosecuted.
In his remarks, the Obong of
Calabar told President Buhari that Cross River had enjoyed the Federal
Government’s goodwill in road constructions, appointments in government and
commissioning of a naval hospital in Calabar.
“I wish to say thank you for your
great works. We have been looking for the opportunity to come closer and say
thank you. We wish you well.
“I have blessed you naturally for
the forthcoming elections and we hope by God’s making you will get a second
term and continue with your good work,” he said.
He said the Calabar-Ogoja-Katsina
Ala road projects and the Calabar-Uyo-Aba road projects would really ease the
livelihood of Nigerians, urging the President to also complete the dredging of
Calabar port in his second term.
