President Muhammdu Buhari says
his administration has delivered on the three electoral promises made to
Nigerians in 2015 which are, providing security, improving the economy and
fighting corruption.
The President stated this on
Monday while addressing his teeming supporters at the Kwara All Progressive
Congress (APC) Presidential Rally held in Ilorin.
“Before you gave us your mandate
in 2015, we made promise on three fundamental issues that our party believed
in, which are, providing security, improving the economy and fighting
corruption.
“In assessing our performance,
you must look at where this country was when we took over, where we are today
and what we have been able to achieve with the limited resources available to
us.
“As far as security is concerned,
the people of the North East are major witnesses of our performance.
”On fighting corruption, we are
not going to give up. We will continue to take those who abuse trust to
justice.
“On the economy, we have
diversified from reliance on oil by improving on agriculture, solid minerals
and in the creative industry,” he said.
In the area of agriculture, the
President said the administration made fertiliser available to farmers below
the price it used to be.
He said the government had
achieved food security and improve on living standard of the people.
Buhari added that the government
is building infrastructure across the country and the administration’s
achievement in that regard was unprecedented.
The President who was impressed
by the mammoth crowd at the rally expressed his gratitude to the people and
implored them to come out in their great numbers on the election days to cast
their votes for APC.
“I stand here to thank you most
sincerely for coming out in this great number and defying the heat of the day
to stand and listen and cheer us,” he said.
Buhari specifically appreciated
the APC leader in the state and the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji
Lai Mohammed.
“I am very pleased with the
performance of Minister Lai Mohammed.
“When l listened to him, he was
right in what he told you on what the administration had done for Kwara,” he
said.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN)
reports the President presented the Governorship candidate of the APC,
Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq to the supporters and urged them to vote for the party
across board.
Earlier, Abdulrazaq had also
thanked the people of Kwara for coming out in their multitude to show their
support for the President and the party.
The governorship candidate said
“O to ge”, meaning “enough is enough” of politics of treasury looting and
leadership imposition because the Kwara people are ready for a change.
He said under the 16 years
leadership of the opposition in the state, the entire infrastructure including
schools, roads and health had collapsed.
Abdulrazaq assured the people of
good governance that would develop infrastructure, improve standard of living
and liberate Kwara.
The rally was attended by APC
leaders Bola Tinubu, Abdullahi Adamu, the party National Chairman, Adams
Oshiomole, Ministers and Sen. Gbemi Saraki, among others.
