The President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari has vowed to continue to remind Nigerians of the situation they met the country in, in 2015.
Buhari said this as part of his 76th birthday anniversary message to Nigerians which was posted on all his official social media accounts.
His party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has come under heavy criticism of late for downplaying the magnitude of his administration’s failure in the last three and a half years. ’16 years of PDP’ became a cliché; the easiest deflection from what critics of his administration describe as gross incompetence.
“I‘m very grateful to everyone for their kind wishes on my 76th birthday today. Those who ambushed me at the State House with a surprise celebration, and all of you who sent in greetings from around the country and the world. Thank you very much. May the Almighty God bless you all.
“A journalist asked me what Nigerians should expect from me, as I turn 76. I am thankful to God for keeping me going, I will continue to serve Nigeria with all dedication and commitment. This is the only country we have, and we will make it work.
“We will continue to remind Nigerians of the situation we met the country in, in 2015, and what we have been able to achieve since then, with the resources available to us. Our unparalleled focus on Infrastructure, delivering transport, power and water projects across the country.
“Our efforts in social investment and human capital development, after years of neglect and under-investment. Our emphasis on fighting corruption, which has earned us global support and recognition; and the ongoing determination to tackle various inherited security challenges.
“We have made our priorities clear, and we will also make clear the progress we are achieving. Nothing will come in the way of our determination to bring lasting change to Nigeria, and to lay the foundation for lasting peace and prosperity”, Buhari declared.
