ABUJA, Nigeria – President Muhammadu Buhari has said that his government has in 3 years and 6 months reversed the 16 years of PDP misrule.
Buhari, who made the remarks while inaugurating the APC Presidential Campaign Council said his government has succeeded in restoring the territorial integrity of Nigeria, through the efforts of the gallant men and women in the armed forces.
“We are systematically engaged in all the remaining corridors of insurgency, kidnappings, robberies, herdsmen and farmers clashes”, he said.
He implored leaders of APC to resist being provoked, remain focused and civil in campaigns.
“Let us engage our citizens on issues and ask for reflection on the comparative difference between 2015 and 2019 on security, economy and corruption and abuse by those entrusted with leadership in Nigeria”, he said.
He said Nigerians voted APC into power in 2015 because they put trust and confidence that the party will make a great difference.
“We are now building on the experience of our successful outing in the 2015 elections. It is my hope that this wonderful team put together will anchor our campaigns to lead our party and its candidates to victory in the general elections in a few weeks’ time.
“A victory for us as a party is a victory for all well meaning Nigerians, who are committed to CHANGE from an inglorious past; where those in positions of public trust willfully took for themselves what belongs to us all; where the security of our citizens was second place to their acquisition of unwholesome wealth; where our economic growth was sacrificed for the fleeting ease of import dependency”, he said.
According to him, the APC has reset national values and that corruption is no longer condoned and is no longer seen as normal for public office holders.
“The agencies of government are no longer equivocal in dealing with anyone who flouts our laws. The high and low are receiving jail terms, loots are being recovered, and Nigerians are increasingly displaying the timeless values of honesty, honour and decency. I congratulate us all for making these changes possible.
“Our economy has become a prudently managed enterprise. Our resources are now working for us, as we ensure the delivery of key national infrastructure, which were left unattended over these past years”, he said.
