President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday
evening appealed to Nigerians to bear with
his administration as he and Vice President
Yemi Osinbajo begin the earnest work of
reconstructing the country.

He says the appeal is necessary because of
the collateral damage that had been done
to the system before the new team comes
on board.
Buhari made the appeal in his remarks at
the inauguration gala night held at the old
Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa,
Abuja.

The event took place a few hours after he
and Osinbajo took their oaths of office
and oaths of allegiance before Nigerians
at the Eagles Square, Abuja, where he
promised to be the President of all.
The President said the enormous damage
inflicted on the country could easily be
appreciated by comparing the nation’s
infrastructure in 1999 with what currently
prevails.
“I ask Nigerians to please bear with us. A
lot of damage has been done. You can look
at our infrastructure in 1999 and now and
you will appreciate this,” he said.
Buhari also regretted the high rate of
unemployment among youths, who he said
represented about 60 per cent of the
country’s population.

The President said the nation was sitting
on a keg of gun powder with the prevailing
unpleasant situation.
He added that his administration would
focus on agriculture and mining to engage
some of the unemployed youths.
He asked Nigerians to pray for the country
more than they are currently doing.
“Nigeria prays a lot; we need to even pray
the more for luck so that the expectations
our people have, especially the youth, would
be met,” he said.

Buhari promised to seek the supports of
Europe, America and Nigeria’s neighbours
in tackling the unemployment and security
problems confronting the country.
The President noted that if Nigeria was
enmeshed in crisis, the backlash on
neighbouring countries would be
monumental.

He added, “Nigeria has to be well secured
and efficiently managed; this is what the
APC is all about.
“This was why the legacy parties made the
sacrifice of jettisoning their personal
ambitions, tried to come together and took
the bull by the horn and therefore brought
it down and slaughtered it literally.’’
He said the new party in power had
realised its problems and made the
sacrifice.

Buhari added that his administration would
articulate the nation’s requirements after
studying the handover notes from the past
administration and consult the immediate
neighbours, Europe and US to help the
nation.

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar
described Nigeria and democracy as the
winners of the last general elections.
“Democracy is the winner and Nigeria is
the winner.
“I congratulate all who made the election
possible. I also congratulate former
President Goodluck Jonathan for deepening
democracy,’’ he said.
Atiku believed the path of honour Jonathan
took would not be forgotten.
He urged the President to recognise the
diversity of the country and accommodate
all since the nation’s diversity remained its
strength.

A National Leader of the All Progressives
Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, said a new
era had come for Nigeria.
He said a commitment to build a new
Nigeria had been consecrated, adding that
Buhari is principled, passionate and
determined to develop the country.

“The challenge is yours. We that are
looking up to you will continue to do so with
great commitment, perseverance and we
have to show that Africa can compete,
Nigeria must lead,’’ Tinubu added.

Mr president the begging is too much,we will only give you till 2019 nothing more

Didn't see any form of begging here though I feel 4 years are enough to make an impact. But remember he can't fix Nigeria completely in 4years.
