Nigerians Understand And Sympathise With Me – Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari while speaking in Abuja on Wednesday stated that he knows Nigerians understand him and sympathises with him.

The President further stated that the year 2019 which is about to end was a successful year for the country.

Buhari while speaking with residents of FCT led by the minister, Mohammed Bello, during the traditional Christmas Day homage, said, “We thank God. It has been a very successful year, relative to the composition of this country, both politically and ethnically”.

The President was visited by delegates from different religious backgrounds, political and traditional leaders as well as top civil servants.

“You are our eyes and ears, we have to listen to you and I hope you are encouraging your constituencies that this leadership means well and is concerned about them,” Buhari added.

President Buhari noted that his government would continue to utilise the country’s resources to rebuild the nation.

Buhari added that the country in the last four years at the Federal level has recorded sustainable progress in mobilising resources to rebuild infrastructure across the country.

He said “This administration sincerely believes that if you get infrastructure right, most Nigerians will mind their own businesses. They may not even care who is in government.”

“But when you deny them infrastructural facilities then there is nothing they can do.”

“But I can assure you that I thank Nigerians very much from the bottom of my heart.”

“When I travelled to all the 36 states before the elections, what I personally observed and the number of Nigerians that turned up in every State to see and listen to me, are more than what anybody can pay or force.”

“What I saw made me believe that the majority of Nigerians understand and sympathize with me.”

“I swore to hold this office in accordance with the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and God willing, I will follow the system diligently to the end of my term and I hope history will be kind to me and Nigerians.”
