President Muhammadu Buhari has warned that the next four years of his administration will be tough.
He spoke in Abuja on Friday when members of the Federal Executive Council visited him and held a special session at the Presidential Villa to congratulate him over his re-election.
He recalled that during the campaigns for the poll, he toured the 36 states of the federation to demonstrate to the opposition that he was healthy and fit to perform any task as President. “That is a very good thing because the oil sector is becoming very difficult to predict. It is becoming unpredictable and depending on it makes us materially insecure but thank goodness, agriculture has come to save it and people are appreciating it.”
Meanwhile, a former governor of Borno State, Mr Ali Modu Sheriff, said on Friday that but for the activities of Boko Haram, the state would have given Buhari two million votes during the poll. “As a governor, the President got over a million votes in Borno; why didn’t they complain then? They are just crying foul for nothing. This election was the most transparent election that ever took place in the history of Nigeria and I stand to be corrected. They should just embrace peace.”
