“For the time remaining, and for those who have one more term in office based on the provision of the constitution, the elections are important to the parties.
“Intellectuals and historians should be fair to us so that those who are looking for leadership positions will not exploit the political ignorance or lack of knowledge of the people.”
The president noted that his administration has done well to secure the country unlike what was on the ground in 2015
“The subsequent development in the North West is the most amazing, were people who lived together, spoke the same language, and shared common faith started killing each other and rustling cows,” he said.
“I had to change the security chiefs and we had to get down to the fundamentals of providing security. If you look at the situation in relation to time and resources, you will find out what we have been able to achieve.”
Speaking on finance, President Buhari stated that oil prices fell from more than $100 to less than $38 under his administration and that the output that was 2.1 million barrels a day dropped to about 500,000 barrels.
He stated that despite this, his government was able to achieve a lot.
