President Muhammadu Buhari has revealed why he will become Nigerians President if another Presidential election is being conducted. During an interview with a popular daily, Buhari stated that he is still as popular as he was during the 2015 presidential election. He said, "Yes, I was elected by an overwhelming majority of Nigerians, and I am ever grateful for the opportunity I have been given to serve. “However, I don’t consider the result of the so-called survey a slip in my public
rating and acceptance. I appreciate the high expectations of Nigerians and as an
administration we are working assiduously to deliver. “We came in with a mantra of Change and
the zeal to give a new lease of life to governance. Our zeal has remained the same and we are always prepared to make the difference. “You will recall that when I was being sworn in, I emphasized that as a
government, three key areas will be the priorities. The first is the need to rebuild the economy. I also pledged to fight insecurity while the third and equally
important area is the fight against corruption. “Nigeria will soon be back on track. Before
now, we have been having sleepless nights in Nigeria with Boko Haram having field days in tormenting people, most
especially in the North-Eastern part of the country. So far, we have shown resilience in stopping these people and yet many criticize the approach we are using. “What I think our people should know is that a process of change is difficult as it
requires endurance and patience. China, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and other great Asian countries had at different times passed through processes of
change. They are far better off today. “And some of these countries were at far with Nigeria in terms of development some five decades ago. We are
attempting to do the same here to say let us stop building individuals, let us stop making those who serve in government
get stupendously wealthy at the expense of ordinary Nigerians they had sworn to serve. “Rather, we should concentrate on
building strong institutions. Let us introduce economic prosperity by bringing in more investors to catalyze a sense of
competition to grow our economy. Let there be law and order in our ways.”
