What a wonderful speech from a true leader!

He should be careful oooo. This is a really demoralizing assumption

Seun your boys are at it again: adding salt and pepper. No where did he insinuate or say "we may fail Nigerians". Not even the source of the story but purely the warped opinion of the OP.
Seun, your site seems to be promoting junk over substance now and is fast losing it's credibility.

I read this article from start to finish but did not find any spot where he made the purported statement in the headlin.

Please wailers should read comprehensively before making comments. Thanks

LordIsaac:
Nigerians, themselves, obviously detest change!! Meanwhile, God bless my able President, President Muhammadu Buhari(GCFR). The grace of God that brought you to power will keep you there, against all odds.

the owner of the sickness say the thing de pain am and u are saying its a lie. Na wa for u o. Abeg ur own zombie na for porridge u commot am eat?

Keep appointing hausa everywhere o and be telling us you are afraid. You better be afraid.

Wow i thought the wailers are on strike today

So delighted for his speech, sometimes i hate dis man, not personally but due to people surrounded him, some old wine are still in his government, they are only looking for political appointments not how our country ll be great,

About the killing of corps member, am really ashamed because or political system, THEY SHOULD PASS A BILL THAT EVERY POLITICAL ASPIRANTS SHOULD VOLUNTARY DONATE TWO OF THEIR CHILDREN TO ALSO BE IN POLLING UNIT.. IN DIS ONLY WAY OUR PROBLEM LL BE SOLVED,

May almighty God help you!

It is appalling that we can summarise a speech of about 60 to 70 line by reading 9 lines like someone did above.

Blame the precedence on the apc .they lived off it against the last administration.besides there is a place where the title derives its source

Am I the only one that still can't find the part he said "we may fail Nigerians..

firstEVA:
Buhari means well for Nigeria, but the forces and agents against change are frustrating his efforts.

gerrahere for real mehnnn....which forces? U are the forces I guess
What do u expect wen u vote in an illiterate

What do you expect when the majority of the cabinet members are all PDP used and dump . You can only change your party but believe me your character remains with you anywhere.God bless Nigeria my country.

wonderful write up

Am sure you didn't do summary in your secondary school, but I will help you out

"I am afraid I did not succeed in the election in Kogi, Bayelsa, Rivers. I think that more Nigerians are killed or killed themselves in Rivers than in any particular state. At this stage of our political development, to remain brutal is shameful and as a government, I promise we will do something by the next general election"

That was his direct statement... He failed more by saying he promised to do something by the next general election, meaning he can't do anything before then. That makes 2019 election to be an experimental election. At least we have other re-run elections and even states like Edo, Ondo, Ekiti, Anambra & Osun will be conducting their election soon, so why wait till the next general election.

Buhari is not organised nor prepared for governance

Bro Ludacris tnks for ur epic reply. Buhari men really need to do more in their construction of grammar and logic cos if this was d verbatim of his address then I ll blame more of his script writers. First Gej had 29ministries not 42 but had 42 ministers (36 States n one from each zone). Buhari kept saying it was 42 Ministries which means they dont know d diff btw Ministers and Ministries and this is lame. U made mention of oil boom of 1999 to 2003 and still poured ur venom at last administration (emphasis singular) which shd v been past administrations or more specifically mention Obj who was d helmsman during dat time. By using last administration in d script u meant GEJ and another poor blame game. Another lie dat he has been repeated over time is about BH and 14 L.g.a b4 handover. U want to be remembered for having respect for Nigerians but my advice is dat u just dont wish it but have to earn it by showing us respect. Not even watching d Aljazeera video wia unarmed protesters wia killed by ur army, d silence on d Fulani herdsmen on rampage and d selective unleashing of d Dss on ur perceived opponents will deny u this title u want to be remembered for if u leave tomorrow. D portion of giving them drugs (abi guns) makes me doubt d competency of his personal aides.

we are in the same shoes but all the same ....buhari is a failure

I'm an everyday Nigerian. I spent hours on the queue today waiting to buy fuel until it finished before it got to my turn. I understand exactly what ordinary Nigerians are going through. But I also understand the underlying issues. A major pipeline servicing the refineries was damaged a couple of months back. All three refineries are down at the moment. We have to import almost all we need now and NNPC is the only importer with all the attendant issues with logistics. I'm not expecting Buhari or Kachikwu to pull off any magic. If anytin, I'll blame the Navy for failing to safeguard our pipelines from those saboteurs.
I think Nigerians need to sit down and understand the issues before they start throwing stones at Buhari. Too much damage has been done to the country already by previous governments. People who were supossed to govern us and provide selfless service to us just sat down and shared our money!
We need to give this man our maximum support because if he can't save Nigeria then we may as well just give up.

rusher14:
These people have already invaded the thread.

Ask them what he said that wasn't right or shouldn't have been said they would beat around the bush.

Shameless losers.

The title of the thread is grossly misleading

Wisdomkosi:

Seun... I've never mentioned you in anyway but I think you need to get this... Nairaland is becoming a joke... And you're doing nothing about it.

Presido time no dey at all, get down to work ASAP

We are from frying pan to fire.
I weep for this country.

Am so sure they didn't read the text. Silly wailers.

In d.banjs voice ,don't tell me nonsense

nnachukz:
Can this man please get down to work and stop thinking of still having three years more? Why must he always show he is a dullar.d?

wailing wailer. U must contradict anything he says. So 16yrs of decay u want him to do it in less than a yr?

What's up with Nairaland and misleading headings these days.

He has failed already

LudaChriz:
Text of President Muhammadu Buhari’s remarks at the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting held at the APC National Secretariat in Abuja, March 24, 2016.

PROTOCOLS

We are members of the legacy party, plus APGA and DPP. We realized since 2005 that to remove the PDP from power, we must sink our differences, come together and form a party. God willing, that eventually happened and that is why we are where we are today, coming together inspite of our differences, both personal and ideological. We must not forget that. Having identified that as members of the legacy party, we again identified three fundamental things facing us.

First, security, second, economy and unemployment and thirdly, corruption. We campaigned throughout the country on these three fundamental issues and nobody successfully challenged us and these issues remained relevant.

On security, we have made progress. It was a very courageous decision that the party took and executed by the Executive by removing most of the military hierarchy and appointing those to take over from them, acquiring some new hard and soft ware and raising the morale of the military to go secure the rest of the country which was then 14 out of 774 local government. I have said it often that as far as I know and the service Chiefs who are on ground, they are not holding any local government. But they still have some capability especially on soft targets by using technology.

For Niger Delta, the militants are sending some conflicting messages. Some have said they are ready to drop their arms and join the rest of the nation to build it. But part of them are still sabotaging installations which is making investments in that lucrative area of Nigeria difficult because nobody will submit his riches to financial institutions, get money only to suffer huge loss. So, the environment for investment is being sabotaged by our own selves, Nigerians. We are doing our best with the military by trying to persuade them to join the rest of the country because in unity lies our strength.

Of course the leadership of INEC has been changed, but I appeal to the leadership of the military, security agents and INEC that what I want Nigerians to remember me for, even if I have to leave the Presidency tomorrow is that I respect them. I want all Nigerians to believe and hold their PVC as personal entitlement as Nigerians and use it the way the like, and vote for whoever they like at which ever election. If they voluntarily sold it, it is part of their right and so, let them sell it and remain at home and not participate in any election. But let the law enforcement agencies give them the confidence that nobody will come out who has money to hire thugs, give them drugs and stop them from exercising their fundamental right.

I am afraid I did not succeed in the election in Kogi, Bayelsa, Rivers. I think that more Nigerians are killed or killed themselves in Rivers than in any particular state. At this stage of our political development, to remain brutal is shameful and as a government, I promise we will do something by the next general election.

On the economy, the fall of oil prices after Nigeria has made itself a mono economy is a disaster. I wonder why people could not believe that in Nigeria, about 27 out of 36 states have difficulty in paying basic salaries of their workers. If from 1999 to at least 2003, oil is above 100 dollars per barrel and an export of about 2 million barrel per day, how come Nigeria failed to make some arrangement to cushion the effect of a probably volatile oil market? Again, it show failure of the last administration. But we are now to pick the pieces as an APC government and so, there is no need complaining, but let us concentrate and see how much we can do with whatever remains of the economy. We realized that agriculture and solid minerals are two areas that can quickly come to help us to recover economically, at least in terms of employment and feeding ourselves and more importantly, saving the hard currency to make sure that what is left our industries remain open, employing Nigerians and producing goods and services which is very important.

The policy we are trying to implement is TSA. When we insist that we have to know what comes in and what goes out for us to make a comprehensive amendment to the economy. If you go and see the Central Bank Governor, he will tell you that in the TSA, we have more than N3 trillion. Where would this money have been if TSA was not in vogue? I was made to understand that vouchers would have quickly been raised towards the end of the financial year and checks made. Whether they are going into projects or private pockets, nobody can prove it to you. But that money is there, it is identified, if is quantified and when the budget comes back eventually, the Ministry of finance will see how to allocate it to the rest of the country.

We have tried to make sure that NNPC is reorganized, so that we know how much of our crude is taken, how much it is sold and to which account the money is going. But I tell you that up to the time we came, if anybody told you that he knows how much of crude exchanges hands either on the high sea or reaching their destination and the accounts the money goes into, that person is not telling you the truth. We are getting the cooperation of countries that has received this crude. But we have to be sure of the facts in our hands before we start prosecution so that Nigerians will believe what we have been telling them.

Again, I have to repeat myself here for you to appreciate what I am going through because you are closer to the people than myself. I was telling a British team that came to supervise the training team they sent, that when I was in uniform, you took the perceived corrupt ones and put them in safe custody and quietly told them they were guilty until they can prove themselves innocent. But now under multi-party democratic system, I see some of them ride Rolls Royce, some of them have built estates here, but they are innocent until we can prove them guilty. This situation is true and you don't need to stress your imagination to find out. If you can find out, you discover that a level eight officer has five houses, while you, as a Permanent Secretary or Commissioner is still living in a rented house. We have to get credible evidence to carry out successful prosecution and get judgement from the Judiciary. But effort is being made to give a list of recoveries in whatever currencies so far so that Nigerians will know that it is not all about long stories.

For the party, I will like you to continue to make sacrifice. I know you are being harassed since the election that they haven't seen anything on the ground. Well, if you have any explanation that could be accepted, is that you have three more years to go. When we came in after 16 years of PDP, each government had 42 ministries. We reduced them to 24, removed 21 Permanent Secretaries. We sat down and reflected seriously. We were all in the process of taking over at a time of national budget. So, imagine the volume of work and with what happened in the National Assembly, the padding, it would appear that below the Permanent Secretaries, there are still a lot of bureaucracies that are still with them. So, you have to appreciate the position we are in. Having cut 42 to 24, correspondingly, the parastatals will be cut down to some size and realigned and the boards reconstituted. We gave a blanket order which we had to rescind when we said all boards are suspended or dissolved. We had to go back and lick our vomit in terms of university boards because we found out that according to their laws, they cannot choose Vice Chancellors unless the Boards seat down, interview prospective candidates who wants to be VCs. So, there is nothing wrong in saying sorry and going back on your decision. So, we said sorry and allow all the universities to continue with their boards. But for the rest, eventually, we will make it. So, please, try to bear with us as we reflect on where we found ourselves.

For globetrotting, sometimes, you need to present your case on personal basis to your economic colleagues and neighbors. Nothing is better than personal touch and I believe that we are learning a lot and eventually, the nation will realize so, I don't envy you on the harassment you are going through from your constituencies. Take it with a lot of determination and we will be all right, God willing.
