Opposition Can’t Fault My Efforts At Solving Nigeria’s Problems – President Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari has said members of the
opposition cannot fault the efforts his administration has
made in its three major areas of focus, namely security,
economy and the fight against corruption.
According to a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on
Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, the President spoke on
Thursday in his hometown, Daura, Katsina State, while
hosting some state governors elected on the platform of the
ruling All Progressives Congress, some federal and state
lawmakers and state commissioners to a lunch.
Buhari said he would continue to do what he was expected to
do in the leadership position God had given him.
He said, “We are always encouraged when all our
constituents are happy with the work we are doing and our
genuine efforts to make sure that what we campaigned for in
2015 is still very much in our minds and we have not lost
focus.
“In terms of security, economy and the fight against
corruption, we have maintained focus. Even the opposition
with all their resources cannot fault our identification of
Nigeria’s priorities and the efforts being made to better them.
“We will continue to do what we ought to do in the leadership
position God has placed us and we thank the constituents for
the support.”
On the defections within the major political parties, the
President reiterated his earlier position that he wished them
well.
“For those who have decided to change camp for whatever
reason, we wish them good luck,” he said.
The President said the combined efforts of defectors and their
backers in the opposition would not distract his
administration from the good work it was doing for the benefit
and development of Nigeria.
He stressed that the ruling party had the full understanding of
Nigeria’s challenges and was encouraged by the support of
Nigerians in addressing them.
In his remarks, the leader of the delegation and Chairman of
the Progressives Governors Forum, Rochas Okorocha,
commended the President on his efforts at keeping the nation
together.
The feat, the Imo State Governor said, had been achieved
through Buhari’s visionary leadership.
He noted that the President had remained focused and
unshaken by situations and circumstances.
“This shows that your administration is approved by God.
“We are here to encourage you to keep doing what you are
doing as Nigerians are very pleased with you.
“We also want to inform you that we had wonderful and
peaceful Sallah celebration across the country because of
security of lives and property you have guaranteed in our
nation,” Okorocha told the President.
Okorocha was accompanied by the governors of Katsina,
Kebbi, Kano and Niger states.
