President Muhammadu Buhari has again apologised to Nigerians over steps taken by his administration in the last eight years to revamp the nation’s economy.In a farewell broadcast to Nigerians earlier today the outgoing President boasted that his government made considerable progress in the fight against corruption through reforms implementation.
“We must as a nation improve and sustain gains we make in the electoral process, on an incremental basis for Nigeria to take its rightful place among Nations. “In the course of the campaigns, we had argued and disagreed on how to make Nigeria better but we never disagreed or had any doubts that Nigeria has to be better,” he added.
“You are the best candidate among all the contestants and Nigerians have chosen well,” Buhari explained. “To ensure that our democracy remains resilient and our elected representatives remain accountable to the people, I am leaving behind an electoral process, which guarantees that votes count, results are credible, elections are fair and transparent and the influence of money in politics reduced to the barest minimum. And Nigerians can elect leaders of their choice.
He declared that the deftness of the response of his government to the pandemic remains a global best practice. “In the course of revamping the economy, we made some difficult choices, most of which yielded the desired results. Some of the measures led to temporary pain and suffering for which I sincerely apologised to my fellow countrymen, but the measures were taken for the overall good of the country,” he said.
“As I complete my term in office, we have been able to reduce the incidences of banditry, terrorism, armed robbery, and other criminal activities considerably,” he said.
