Buhari: No government since 1999 has done what I’ve done in six years

President Muhammadu Buhari says no government or administration since 1999 has done what he has been able to do for the country in six years.

Buhari disclosed this in his nationwide broadcast to Nigerians to mark the nation’s 61st independence.

“No government since 1999 has done what we have done in six years to put Nigeria back on track,” he said.

Listing his achievements, Buhari said he had done well in infrastructure, social care, governance, Nigeria’s image and influence in Africa and the international community.

On security, he urged Nigerians to work together to save the country.

He said, “Security is a bottom to top undertaking. Joining hands and hearts together would enable us to secure ourselves and our country.

“I fully understand the anxiety of many Nigerians on the inability of this country to go beyond a never-ending potential for becoming a great nation to an actually great one.

“A lot has been achieved in the last six years on many fronts: in infrastructure, social care, governance, Nigeria’s image and influence in Africa and the international community.

“But critics misdiagnose incremental progress as stagnation. Since coming to power, this Administration has tackled our problems head-on in spite of the meagre resources. No government since 1999 has done what we have done in six years to put Nigeria back on track.

“We shall continue to serve the country: listen to all and protect our democracy and country.”
