Buhari Promises To Campaign On The Records Of His Administration by chieyine(m): 12:11am On Dec 26, 2018

President Muhammadu Buhari, who is due to open his re-election campaign in Uyo, Akwa Ibom on Friday, said it will focus on the scorecard of his administration in the key areas of security, economy and anti- corruption.

Buhari spoke today at a Christmas Homage by residents of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) led by the Minister, Mohammed Bello.

President Buhari said the three overarching issues were still as relevant to the country as it was before the 2015 polls that brought the APC-led government to power.

‘‘Very soon we will go to the geo-political zones to remind the people of our promises in 2015 on three fundamental things: security, economy and the fight against corruption.

‘‘Unless we secure the country, we cannot manage it properly… that is why shortly after I was elected, I went to Chad, Niger, Cameroon and the Republic of Benin to seek their support in the fight against the insurgency.

‘‘People in the North East know that we have recorded remarkable improvement in the fight against Boko Haram,’’ he said.

President Buhari also used the occasion to reassure Nigerians that his administration remains committed to tackling kidnapping and banditry in addition to finding a lasting solution to the conflict between herders and sedentary farmers.

President Buhari told the gathering, comprising religious, political and traditional leaders in the FCT that his administration has done more work with less resources in agriculture, infrastructure and social investments, considering the state of the economy it inherited from the previous administration.

On agriculture, President Buhari said he remained grateful to God for the bumper harvests experienced by farmers in different parts of the country in 2016, 2017 and 2018 despite devastating floods.

‘‘I am very happy that all the people who returned to agriculture have not regretted it,’’ he said.

On the fight against corruption, the President pledged that he will continue to do his best to recover what rightly belongs to Nigeria, guided by the rule of law and respect for constituted authority.

The President jocularly said people were calling him ‘‘Baba Go Slow’’ because he had jettisoned the military way of fighting corruption and opted for due process under a constitutional democracy.

‘‘When I was going fast I was arrested so why should I go fast again. It is not Baba that is slow it is the system. So whatever the case I will not stop pointing fingers at those who have illegally abused trust by taking [public] funds entrusted to them,’’ he said.

Earlier in his remarks, the FCT Minister while congratulating the President for an eventful year with remarkable achievements, said: ‘‘we in the FCT are your flock and we know you will continue to lead us to the Promised Land.’’

On his part, the Primate, Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), Archbishop Nicholas Okoh, who spoke on behalf of the Christian community, thanked God for sustaining the President with good health.

The Anglican Primate urged political and religious leaders in the country to take a cue from the FCT and replicate the religious harmony between Christians and Muslims.

If you believe that Buhari has done enough to be re-elected then you’ll also believe that Lagos is the capital of France

Some of Buhari's footprints

- Diversification of the economy by installing global mining business procedures to attract foreign investors
- Laying foundation for production-driven economy by using using fiscal measures to encourage local producers
- Improving agricultural production and reduction in food importation
with stage set to encourage investment in processing and preservation
- Shrewd use of government revenues
- Conservation of nation's hard-earned Forex Reserve
by discouraging importation of needless stuff
- Sensible wealth redistribution through social Investment programs
to the vulnerable and strengthen the capital base of micro and small businesses across the nation
- Critical infrastructure-tied borrowings to avoid diversion
- Completing on-going and abandoned projects to strengthen critical infrastructure needs in power plants e.g Mambilla, rail transport, airport terminal, ports, interstate road networks, etc
- Fighting corruption and blocking leakages
- Motivating revenue-yielding government agencies to make higher returns e.g Customs, JAMB, etc
- Changing the long established mindset giving free money to non-productive political structure (foot soldiers) rather than empowering them to be productive and financial independent
- Etc.
