President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday said some of the past abuses he saw when he assumed office were unbelievable.

He said Nigeria survived such past abuses only by an act of God.

According to a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, the President spoke while receiving his supporters under the aegis of the Governance Support Group at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

“Some of the things I saw here were unbelievable. I still shudder and wonder how a country can survive under such abuses. It is only by an act of God that we survived,” the President told his guests.

He said his administration had ushered in a new era of accountability and responsibility by auditing and correcting the many wrongs of the past that crippled the economy and created an exclusive class.

He promised to consolidate on the reforms he had initiated for change in the country.

Buhari said the long-suffering, commitment and sacrifices of all his supporters over the years would be remembered by posterity.

He urged them to remain steadfast in pursuing the overall good of the nation.

He said he remained “eternally grateful’’ for all the personal and collective sacrifices that culminated in winning the 2015 elections, assuring them that all the efforts would never be forgotten.

“I can never forget your sacrifices and I am grateful for all. You never gave up when things were bleak, and we needed to survive. I can’t express my gratitude enough.

“In spite of the environment you found yourself, you kept believing and pushing. Some of you were really exposed to risks. My consolation is that you voluntarily threw in your lot with me.

“Some of you exposed yourself so much, and I knew it. I urge you to still stick to your principled ways of doing things and our country will be the better for it,”he said.

PMB has been an ardent advocate of failure, he failed in 1983 and he's failing today.

Am so surprise that people who claim to be advocate of good governance cannot sweep this incompetent and total disgrace away.

We have all seen the criticism suffered by the then ruling PDP as a result of fuel palaver, even the president and bigwigs of the political sphere condemn the situation and asked that solace be restore to the common man.

It's a pity that what we suffered when the price of fuel was N87 is now worse for an increase price of N145.

A vote cast for PMB is a vote cast for hardship. My fellow Nigerians, let us ATIKULATE come 2019.

Can This Man Just Stop Talking Nonsense Please?

Nonsense

.

bloody bigot..even the devil doesn't want him in hell now,coz he's scared of losing his throne to buhari

An islamic terror sympathizer that is actively pursuing a programme of economic emasculation and strangulation of the country's southern/christian population is offering platitudes on what he has turned the country to.

I laugh in Yoruba....

Only the gullible or muslim citizen still has hope or enjoys the current administration.

This old hag is not aware dat in another 4 months he would have been 3 years in office. Let him keep rambling maybe he still appeals to the fools who still worship him.

And it is by God's grace Nigerians are surviving since your tenure began. We will survive till it elapse and send you back to your village.

Complaining government with no ideas and solutions.

mad man

Yes Nigeria survived you past 1984 abuse by the grace of God but not without grave consequences like generational poverty, entrenched corruption , battered standard of living and increase in crimes yet today you Mr Buhari is still delivering worse performance
.May God save us from Buhari

What solution do you expect from an incoherent dullard

The more this man talk the more I am convinced that he is totally out of touch with reality in the country

But the abuse suffered in the last 2 years of your bias and divise rule is incomparable to any other administration in the history of Nigeria including that of Abacha. This man has lost all his conscience.

And what canyou say about the unprecedented abuses of unimaginable proportion that Nigeria have seen in the past 2 years + now Useless president

you want to atikulate to hell

pmb's view of a 'working society' is one where the masses are totally subservient to the 'master' & have just barely enough to survive while the master & his chosen 'saints' lord it over others...


that for pmb is a 'progressive society'...
