Promise one:
Let me assure you that if I am elected president, the world will have no cause to worry about Nigeria as it has had to recently.
.
How Far?
Since Buhari became President, we've seen the president of super power countries like France, Germany, United States of America, China, Britain, visited Nigeria or invited our president to enter into bilateral and multilateral agreements with them on businesses and investment opportunities. This has happened with many African and Arab States as well. They confidently return stolen money to us while doing serious business with us like the fertilizer initiative with Morocco, the road construction partnership with China, and the power facilities partnership with General Electric of Germany. One came here and was talking about allowing Africa a permanent seat at the UN Security Council. Our president is Chairman of ECOWAS, the anti corruption champion of Africa, and he was invited to Haque recently not for war crimes but to teach them how best to fight corruption and crime. Our president has delivered on this promise. Foreign affairs is a strong area in any government, it's one of the three areas covered in American presidential debate, unfortunately Nigerians are too naïve to not appreciate it.

Promise Two:
That Nigeria will return to its stabilising role in West Africa.

How Far?
Of course it was the Nigerian military under President Buhari who intervened in the political crises in Gambia and provided stability to that country.
Score: 100%.

Promise Three:
Boko Haram has sadly put Nigeria on the terrorism map, killing more than 13,000 of our nationals, displacing millions internally and externally, and at a time holding on to portions of our territory the size of Belgium. If I'm elected president, no inch of Nigerian territory will ever be lost to the enemy.

How far?
Today, Boko Haram, while they still have their remnants around, they're not holding any territory in Nigeria.
Score: 100%.

Promise Four:
We will pay special attention to the welfare of our soldiers in and out of service, we will give them adequate and modern arms and ammunitions to work with.
.
How Far?
If you have anyone working in the military today kindly ask them, the government is not joking with them, their salary is not owed, and those of them working in the north east will tell you they've never had it better. Also, our soldiers not only have better weapons now, the US has sold us 12 Super Tucano Planes to our military, to be delivered when they're done coupling them.

Promise Five:
We will improve intelligence gathering and border controls to choke Boko Haram’s financial and equipment channels.
.
How far?
In June this year the army arrested Boko Haram logistics supplier in Kaduna. In April they arrested their explosive experts. In Oct. 2015, they arrested one Mohammed Maina from Bama who is Boko Haram financier. There are countless of these cases which shows that the president has delivered on this promise.

Promise Six:
We will be tough on terrorism and tough on its root causes by initiating a comprehensive economic development plan promoting infrastructural development, job creation, agriculture and industry in the affected areas.
.
How far?
Of course there is now the north east development commissioned to rebuild the infrastructure of the region. The president also has one of the largest social intervention program in the world today. The agric revolution through the CBN Anchors Borrowers program is heavy in the north. The president just need to keep doing that and improving education as well to completely stop terrorism in its root.

Promise Seven:
We will always act on time and not allow problems to irresponsibly fester, and I, Muhammadu Buhari, will always lead from the front and return Nigeria to its leadership role in regional and international efforts to combat terrorism.
.
How far:
Of course Nigeria is today a leader in combating terrorism, nobody can deny that. The president also led from the front when he relocated command and control centre to Maiduguri. But unfortunately, the president failed in his promise not to allow problems irresponsibly fester when it comes to farmers-herdsmen crises. True, there is today a comprehensive response to the herdsmen crises and we're beginning to see the fruit, but the government was not proactive enough which would've prevented some of the killings. There was no response to the media campaign which made the crises appear far worse than it really is and created panic amongst citizens.

Promise 8:
In the face of dwindling revenues, a good place to start the repositioning of Nigeria’s economy is to swiftly tackle two ills that have ballooned under the present administration: waste and corruption. And in doing this, I will, if elected, lead the way, with the force of personal example.
.
How far?
The president is today receiving only 50% of his salary and allowances. The same with his VP. The president also declared his assets publicly. Nobody today can disdiversifirobust with him and his VP, which is the force of personal example he promised. There is a commitment to reduce waste and leakages, which has saved the country billions of naira. While corruption is still there, even the harshest critic of his government who is not ignorant and mischievous would agree that there is no longer the primitive looting of our treasury like we saw in the past.

Promise Nine:
On corruption, there will be no confusion as to where I stand. Corruption will have no place and the corrupt will not be appointed into my administration.
.
How far?
The president is right, everybody knows today where he stands on corruption. You cannot even discus the subject with him, which is why some people like Obasanjo are not happy with him. While he has more clean people in his administration than any of his predecessors, one or two persons, however, are not so watertight when it comes to this corruption thingy. His response to the allegation against his finance minister has not been perfect, even though I would do the same as him if I were in his shoes. If corrupt people who can't get their way are blackmailing my finance minister in the hope that I'd sack her, I won't touch her, whether the allegation is true or not, because it will do the country more good keeping her than removing her. Appointees need to have the confidence to say no to corrupt elements in the hope that their bosses would have their back when blackmailed. If you give in, then you make everyone else in the administration vulnerable.

Promise 10:
First and foremost, we will plug the holes in the budgetary process.
.
How far?
True, under him he revealed budget padding. He has used technology to stop padding at the executive level, but the national assembly is forcing his hand to swallow their padding at a different arm of government, and Nigeria would suffer if he outrightly refuse. We should be patient with him while he's working on that.

Promise 11:
Revenue producing entities such as NNPC and Customs and Excise will have one set of books only. Their revenues will be publicly disclosed and regularly audited.
.
How far?
The president has delivered on this 100% with his restructuring of NNPC, Customs, NIMASA, etc. This is why these agencies of government are now making huge profits for the first time in their history. A senate committee member on petroleum said recently that he has always been in that committee, but this was the first time that they, the committee members, could have copies of the NNPC budget.

Promise 12:
The institutions of state dedicated to fighting corruption will be given independence and prosecutorial authority without political interference.
.
How far?
The problem Saraki had with Buhari, apart from his over-ambition, is that the president refused to intervene in his corruption trial. EFCC and icpc under Buhari has his 100% support and zero interference. To be honest however, some element in his administration has the bad habit of manipulating security agents and he rightly gets blamed for it.

Promise 13:
In reforming the economy, we will use savings that arise from blocking these leakages and the proceeds recovered from corruption to fund our party’s social investments programmes in education, health, and safety nets such as free school meals for children, emergency public works for unemployed youth and pensions for the elderly.
.
How far?
This is exactly what is happening. When you look at the budget revenue stream, you would see funds recovered by efcc and what the president has budgeted it for. The largest social intervention program in the country today is being funded from this corrupt money, if not how could we have done that in a recession?

Promise 14:

As a progressive party, we must reform our political economy to unleash the pent-up ingenuity and productivity of the Nigerian people thus freeing them from the curse of poverty.
.
How far:
There was a committee headed by El-Rufai set up by the party on restructuring, that committee did a fine job but the party has not progressed from there. The president needs to urge them to move forward, but I suspect they want to do that only after the election.

Promise 15:
We will run a private sector-led economy but maintain an active role for government through strong regulatory oversight and deliberate interventions and incentives to diversify the base of our economy, strengthen productive sectors, improve the productive capacities of our people and create jobs for our teeming youths.
.
How far:
To be honest the president tried to sell some of Nigeria's assets to the private sector to fulfill the promise of making us a private-sector led economy, but the National Assembly refused. Even in the US, a president can promise something but if the Parliament does not grant it then he can't do it. Buhari needs to try again and not give up. The economic diversification under this government has been robust with massive investment in Agriculture. Capital sending in the budget has been increased to 30% year-on-year, which the bulk of it directed to areas that helps production. Millions of jobs have also been created.
Score: 70%

Verdict:
Out of 15 promises, the president has fulfilled 12 of them excellently, one of them good, and failed in two of them. Doing well in 13 out of 15 promises is 87% sucycess rate. This is an excellent performance by our president and he must be encouraged to keep doing well.
