President Muhammadu Buhari has
recanted an earlier declaration that his second tenure would be tough.
Buhari, while speaking at the
28th Convocation Ceremony of the Federal University of Technology, Minna, Niger
State, last week, had vowed that he would continue to take tough decisions
during his second tenure.
However, speaking yesterday at
the Presidential Villa, Abuja, Buhari assured that his next four years would be
peaceful and prosperous.
Stating that his next four years
would be corruption-free, Buhari insisted that his administration would remain
focused on his campaign promises to fight corruption, grow the economy and
fight insecurity.
According to him, “By the grace
of God, majority of Nigerians have given me another four years of continuity.
We will remain focused on our promises, which remain security, economy and
fighting corruption.
“I want to assure you that the
next four years will be peaceful, prosperous and corruption free. I, therefore,
look forward to receiving your proposals so that together, we can achieve these
goals.
“We cannot succeed without your
cooperation. I appreciate the pressure you are under from your respective
constituencies, most especially if you have to submit yourself for elections.
“You have to prove to your
members that you are with them rather than with the government and we
understand.
“Let me start by thanking you for
the support and patriotism that you have shown during the presidential
elections.
“You and many Nigerians stepped
in to help many Nigerians exercise their rights to vote. You intervened as
patriots not for political, religious and tribal reasons. You stood in during a
very difficult period for all of us.”
