President Muhammadu Buhari has assured Nigerians that he will hand over a better country to his successor than the level he inherited.
Buhari also underlined his resolve to consolidate the nation’s political system to improve the quality of the people’s lives because “the people matter.”
In an address today at the palace Alhaji Muhammadu Isa II, the Emir of Jama’a, in Kafanchan, Kaduna State, President Buhari said “we are doing our efforts to consolidate the system for the good of the people because they matter.”
To this end, he spoke about the use of the police and the military, in dealing with security situations but urged Nigerians to develop confidence in civil authority to build a system “free of chaos.”
“Nobody,” he warned emphatically, “should be allowed to raise an army of thugs to force himself on the people. This, must be very clear,” he added.
The President gave assurances of the determination of his administration “to hand over a better Nigeria than the one we inherited,” and urged Nigerians to be fair in their assessment of what his government has achieved especially on the campaign promises he made ahead of the 2015 elections.
The President commended Governor Nasir el-Rufai for his accomplishments in the provision of infrastructure, saying:
“I’m very impressed by the rehabilitation of the town (Kafanchan) I have seen,” he said, after commissioning the newly constructed Dan Haya road, Katsina road and the Emir’s Palace road in Kafanchan.
President Buhari, who urged residents of the area to show appreciation for the projects, also commended Alhaji Muhammed Isa, the Emir, for his consolidation of peace among the diverse ethnic and religious communities of the Emirate.
