President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday assured that his administration will focus on three key areas namely; improved security, restructuring of the economy and fight against corruption in his second term.
President Buhari who made this known in his speech shortly after he was declared the winner of February 23, 2019 Presidential election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said that they had laid the foundation and that they were committed to seeing matters to the end.
He assured that his administration would strive to strengthen the nation’s unity and inclusiveness so that no section or group would feel left behind or left out.
In his words,” The new Administration will intensify its efforts in Security, Restructuring the Economy and Fighting Corruption. We have laid down the foundation and we are committed to seeing matters to the end. We will strive to strengthen our unity and inclusiveness so that no section or group will feel left behind or left out”.
While noting that last Saturday’s elections were relatively peaceful, he added that troublemakers in a handful of states attempted to disrupt an otherwise orderly process adding that security agencies would bring to justice all those arrested in the process.
He continued,” I am very sad at the grievous loss of lives during these elections. Security agencies will step up their efforts to protect voters in the forthcoming State elections.
“I would like to commend our security agencies, as severely overstretched as they are, for handling the difficult task of securing the country during the election period.
“I will like to make a special appeal to my supporters not to gloat or humiliate the opposition. Victory is enough reward for your efforts”.
He however thanked the almighty God for sparing their lives to witness another victory for Nigerian democracy as well as victory for their party APC even as he extended his gratitude to the domestic and international observers for contributing to the success of Nigeria’s elections and for their interest in the country and its developing democracy.
“I thank the millions of Nigerians who voted to re-elect me as your president for the next four years. I am deeply humbled and profoundly grateful to you for judging me worthy of continuing to serve you and for your peaceful conduct.
“In particular, I would like to thank Asiwaju Bola Tinubu for his masterful leadership as Co-chair of the Campaign Council. I would like to also thank the Party Chairman Adams Oshiomhole, the Director General of the Campaign Council Rotimi Amaechi, all members of the Presidential Campaign Council and other various Support Groups.
“My grateful thanks to all those who contributed to the logistical expenses of the campaign in such a vast country like Nigeria.
“I also thank the millions of volunteers, self-appointed overseers, canvassers, agents, escorts and sentries who sacrificed so much of their time and resources to ensure the success of these elections. I do not have the words adequate to thank them”, he stated.
