The President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari has stated that he intends to finish strong as his tenure gradually approaches the end.
The President was quoted to have said that the few months left of his administration would be used to consolidate on the gains of democracy already achieved by his government.
The President while envisaging 24 years of unbroken democratic dispensation in Nigeria, vowed to hand over a strong repositioned agriculture-led, diversified home-grown economy, stable democracy and revamped armed and security forces to his successor.
The President was quoted in a statement by his special adviser on media and publicity, Femi Adesina to have made the vow in Abuja during a dinner in honour of the 2022 Committee of Business, Political, Media and Civil Society Leaders.
He urged the leaders to look beyond the challenges facing the country and collaborate with his government to achieve meaningful results.
The President said: “I am gradually entering my final year in office. It is a period I intend to spend not only on consolidating on the achievements of the past seven years but also to leave a legacy for a united, peaceful, and prosperous Nigeria.
”I take this initiative to mean that you all intend to collaborate with this administration in that direction.
”For those among you who are politicians, you must look beyond gaining power to how you can leverage public positions in the process of societal change. To the businessmen and women among you, there is great glory in public service.
”The question that should be uppermost always is: How do we leverage our business endowment for the greater good of our country?
”I am delighted that members of the Nigerian elite have woken up to the fact that the task of changing this society is a task for all of us, whether we are in the private or public sector. Knowing that, we have enormous challenges as a nation, but they are not beyond our capacity to overcome if we embrace a new approach.
”We cannot retreat to our ethnic cocoons, nor can we continue to seek solace in our past. We must champion the idea of a Nigeria where every citizen would be proud to call their own. That is the charge before you.”
