Muhammadu Buhari
Dear friends, as the presidential
campaign draws to a close, let us talk –
Nigerian to Nigerian.
My interactions with Nigerians from all
over the country over the last few
months have left me with an
overwhelming sense of the
expectations the citizens of Nigeria
hold for the future.
There was a little girl who donated her
savings because she believes in our
campaign.
The young men and women at our
campaign rallies who run after our
motorcade, screaming ‘Change’.
The fisherman in Bayelsa who lost his
livelihood because of the polluted
Ogboinbiri River.
The welder from Ibadan who struggles
under the weight of poor power supply.
This campaign has been about them,
and millions of others who have been
let down by their government. From
Enugu to Edo, Cross Rivers to Kano,
Ondo to Benue, and everywhere in
between, Nigerians are tired of the
status quo. Without exception, they
want a more secure living
environment, better economic
opportunities, and a more accountable
government, they want a country they
can be proud of.
My experience has confirmed that
there is no Muslim Nigeria or Christian
Nigeria, no Northern Nigeria or
Southern Nigeria. There is only one
Nigeria, a country where citizens
continue to forge ahead despite the
challenges we face; a country that we
all, both home and abroad, hope and
pray achieves its full potential.
I have dedicated my life to the service
and continued existence of this one
Nigeria, both as a military officer and a
civilian. In the course of this service, I
have overseen the building of refineries
and protected Nigeria from aggressors,
both internal and external. My time as
Head of State, was not perfect;
mistakes were made. Some of you may
not support me because of those
mistakes but I assure you that I feel
the pain of everyone who experienced
undue hardship. Others like Lola
Shoneyin and Tunde Thompson have
been gracious enough to look beyond
these mistakes and accept my offer of
a partnership to build a new Nigeria we
can all be proud of. My appeal to you is
that you find it in your hearts to do the
same.
As I said at Chatham House, being the
leader at the time, I take responsibility
for those mistakes and state again that
before you is a converted democrat
who has submitted to and will continue
to submit himself to a true democratic
process.
I talk about a partnership because to
surmount the grave issues Nigeria will
have to contend with, leading will
require your commitment and
cooperation. Our country is at an all-
time low. Poverty and unemployment
have reached unprecedented high, and
insecurity threatens the lives and
wellbeing of every single person within
our borders—a situation that I myself
have experienced directly. Still,
nothing can erode my optimism about
our country Nigeria. I believe this
country can be great again. I believe
that with effective and transparent
leadership, the eradication of
corruption and respect for the rule of
law, things can change for the better.
Let me be frank, Nigeria is not going to
change overnight. The damage that
the PDP has wrought on this country is
not going to change overnight. But if
we want a country you can be proud of
in the next eight years, in the next
decade, then this is the time to stop
the madness, this is the time to tell
your leaders that they need to be
afraid of you, this is the time to show
that you won’t be taken for granted,
this is the time to show the present
crop that if they fail, they will be
punished.
Even in voting for me, you will be
sending me a clear message, that if I
don’t fulfil my promises, you have the
power to decide who leads you and
how they lead you.
I have served Nigeria will everything I
have, without taking anything that I
did not earn. If anyone has evidence
that proves otherwise, I challenge them
to present it. Many lies have been
circulated about my person but like I
always say, while they continue to lie,
we shall continue to reinforce the truth.
So, today, let me make you a promise
that will not be broken.
The reason we are doing this is clear.
This is about creating a Nigeria where
you and your father and your mother
and your children can be safe, this is
about this is about creating a nation
where children can go to schools where
they actually learn and can compete in
the world, this is about building a
country where corruption and waste,
and stealing and irresponsibility can be
wiped out, so that government officials
stop giving entrepreneurs and creative
people handouts, but actually do the
hard work of creating an economy that
creates wealth for everyone.
This is about creating a country that is
serious about compete g in the global
economy. This is about creating a
country whose passport will not be
insulted whenever you leave our
country. This is about building a nation
where your child can truly be great,
whether he is born in Abakaliki, or in
school in Akure, or about to get
married in Auchi.
I would like to thank everyone who has
been on this journey with us, and
thank Nigerians who received us with
warmth everywhere we campaigned.
On the 28th of March and the 11th of
April, use your PVC to get the desired
change that will enable you and your
children to be proud of this country
once again.
God bless you, and God bless Nigeria
– GMB
