I Have Fulfilled Promises I Made In 2015 – President Buhari Boasts

Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari has said that he has fulfilled the promises he made to Nigerians in 2015.

President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday said he has fulfilled the campaign promises he made to Nigerians in 2015.

He spoke in Imo and Abia states where he visited in continuation of his campaign for a second term.

The Enyimba International Football Stadium, Aba, the commercial nerve of Abia State witnessed a huge turnout of party supporters.

IPOB had earlier asked residents to observe a mini sit-at-home from 6am to 4pm in protest against the visit.

Mr Buhari came in the company of former governor of Abia State, Orji Uzor Kalu, Ogbonnaya Onu (Minister of Science and Technology), Ken Nnamani, Niyi Adebayo, (former Governor of Ekiti State), and Labour Minister Chris Ngige.

The national chairman of the APC, Adams Oshiomhole, was also present.

Self Appraisal

Mr Buhari said his administration if re-elected will continue to tackle infrastructural problems in Nigeria and ensure Nigerians do their businesses without stress.

He maintained that businesses would be improved as soon as infrastructure challenges of the country were tackled.

According to him, despite the limited resources available to his government and fall in oil revenue, his government had performed.

He urged the people of Abia State to ensure that APC is voted into power in the forthcoming elections.

“I’m impressed with all the speakers because they’ve articulated what this administration is able to do. When we came in, we approached governance with three-point agenda of security, economy and fight against corruption.

“We tried to justify these by trying our best within the time available to us from 2015 to now with the resources available to us. You can all recall that the production of 2.4 million barrels per day, was cut short to half a million barrel per day.

“It is in this context that I want you to see how this administration has been committed to develop this country. Upon all these, we are doing the roads now, we are doing the railway, which was neglected and virtually killed and we are doing power.”

He said he will complete all ongoing projects if re-elected.

“We are committing available resources to make sure we get the infrastructure right and we are doing as much as possible to secure the country so that we can properly manage it. I thank you for your commitment and I expect you to this time around, vote APC.”

Mr Oshiomhole said the turnout and warm reception accorded Mr Buhari shows that Abians ”have embraced the change mantra of the APC administration”.

He stressed that the Buhari government has done well in the region.

Mr Oshiomhole who also blamed the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) for years of decay in the region urged the people to use 2019 ”to correct the mistakes of 2015”.
