President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed
doubts over his ability to fulfill his campaign
records.
Buhari, who was made this shocking
declaration during the graduation ceremony
of Course 24 of the National Defence
College, Abuja, noted that he would fulfill the
promises he made before becoming
president, but admitted that it would be a
tough task.
“Let me assure you all that this administration
is committed to bequeathing to this nation, a
new orientation in leadership that will be
service-driven and committed to the realisation
of its promises to the electorates.
“We are however not under any illusions that
this task is an easy one.
“But we have put our trust in God knowing
that with hard work and sound vision, we will
triumph,” he was quoted to have said.

President Buhari also spoke about the issue
of Fulani herdsmen and farmers’ clashes.
He said: “Also, on the matter of Herdsmen/
Farmers clashes, I wish to state that this
Administration will not tolerate or condone
acts of banditry and criminality, under any
guise. As such, our security agencies have
been mandated to deal with such acts
decisively.
“Let me state that this Administration has
been working assiduously in conjunction with
our local and international partners, to rebuild
damaged communities in North East part of
our country. Similarly, we are committed to
tackling the issues of underdevelopment and
neglect in the Niger Delta area.

“This is a priority we have set before us and
we intend to make appreciable gains in
correcting the ills of the past in the Niger Delta
by assuaging inherent grievances.”
The president has been under fire recently
over his inability to hold the country together
in the wake of economic crisis all over the
federation.
One of such criticisms came from
controversial Catholic priest Reverend Father
Ejike Mbaka, who sent a strong message to
the president in a recent sermon.
Father Mbaka blasted the incumbent
president over the economic hardship
destroying the country resulting from what
he defined as poor leadership under the
Buhari-led government.
He stated that the president should know
that Nigerians may vote him out in the next
presidential election.
The preacher said that Nigerians are clearly
getting tired continuing that he campaigned
against the ex-president Goodluck Jonathan
because of the extensive corruption in the
last administration in the hope that Buhari’s
government would be better after his
avowed declaration to fight corruption.
