He said he was happy to know “a large number of presidential candidates have committed to peace. Buhari used the occasion to urge opposition candidates and political parties to desist spreading falsehood for political gains in the election year.
Buhari said Nigeria had become better since his election in 2015 and that those who are unbiased can see and appreciate the progress the country has made since 2015.
President Buhari says his administration is on a mission to rescue the nation’s resources from being appropriated by “a privileged few in their never ending quest to satisfy their greed”. To this end, the president said the All Progressives Congress-led Federal Government had resolved to build a country in which the resources were utilised for the benefit of citizens, irrespective of their socio-political affiliations.
