President Muhammadu Buhari has said that he made only 3 promises to Nigerians which he has fulfilled
Speaking
through his spokesman, Femi Adesina, (Special Adviser to the President
on Media and Publicity), who scored his principal high in his second
year in office, Buhari said he has delivered.
Adesina claimed that Buhari has been able to fulfill his campaign promises with the last two years in power.
Speaking with Sun, the ace journalist said Buhari only made three promises and had since fulfilled them.
According
to him, “If you are going to assess a government –or do any king of
assessment at all –you often need to benchmark it against promises made.
So, it is a good time to ask ourselves: what were the promises made?
And how far have those promises being fulfilled? We cannot come with a
definitive assessment of the government yet, because it is a four-year
mandate.
“So,
we can’t come with an assessment that is final. No! So, we ask
ourselves: what are the promises the APC and President Muhammadu Buhari
made before they came into power? Of course, they were three. The
campaign was on three major planks: secure the country, fight corruption
and restore the economy.
“And
two years down the line, I can confidently say that those promises are
being fulfilled. The level of fulfillment will differ from one area to
the other, but, definitely, they are promises being fulfilled. In the
area of security, we know that one major aspect of security in this
country is the war against insurgency.
“There
are others like the Fulani herdsmen issue, kidnappings, armed robbery,
and all that. We knew where the Boko Haram insurgency was when this
administration came in 2015. Boko Haram was running riot round the
country. The insurgency started in 2009 from the north-east; it crept
into the north-west, north-central, Abuja and Kogi. From Kogi, it could
have gone to south-west; and, from south-west, it could have gone to
south-south. So, what else should be left of the country? That was the
position as at 2015 May.”
