President Muhammadu Buhari on
Thursday said he had delivered on his election promises.
He made the comment in apparent
response to comment by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential
candidate, Atiku Abubakar, who said the Buhari administration had not been able
to deliver on its three cardinal campaign promises in 2015.
The former vice president listed
them as “security, economy and fight against corruption”.
Abubakar spoke at a town hall
meeting tagged: ‘’The Candidates”, organised by the MacArthur Foundation in
collaboration with NTA and DARIA media on Wednesday in Abuja.
Buhari, at his presidential
campaign rally held at the Sani Abacha stadium, Kofar Mata, in Kano, said: “We
promised to fight corruption, insecurity and improve the nation’s economy. We
have been able to achieve a lot in these three critical areas”.
“There is nothing that prompted
me to seek re-election beside my desire and commitment to correct the ills of the
country.
“I was a Governor, Minister and
Head of State and now a President. So, I need nothing less than to ensure that
Nigeria attains greatness,” he said.
The president called on all
supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to vote massively for the
party to ensure its victory at the polls.
“There is nothing new I will tell
you but I am here to thank you for taking the pains to wait patiently to see
me,” he said.
He expressed satisfaction with
the success recorded in the fight against insurgency in the North-East as most
of the people displaced by the mayhem had returned to their respective towns
and villages following the improvement of peace in the affected areas.
Buhari said that the decision by
the Federal Government to ban the importation of rice had yielded good results
as it had boosted rice production in the country and improved the
socio-economic status of Nigerians.
