We Will Keep Doing Our Best Until We Leave In 17 Months – Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday stated that his administration will continue to give its best for the development of the country until May 2023, when he will hand over as stipulated by the Constitution.

He spoke after the commissioning of Oriental Energies Resource Limited Hanger, Muhammadu Indimi Distance Learning Centre, and an International Conference Centre donated to the University of Maiduguri in Borno State.

“I know I swore by the Constitution, and I will leave in 17 months,” he said.

“I pray that the person that will take over from us will also follow the targets of securing the country and building the economy. Without securing the country, you cannot grow the economy.”

The President further commissioned the Tijjani Bolori Memorial Secondary School and the first fly-over in Borno State, Custom Roundabout (3.5km) with a stretch of 10km Gamboru Ngala Road constructed by the state government.

He appealed to Nigerians to appraise the performance of the administration as a result of what the situation was on security, economy, and corruption before he came in, and where it is now.

“We have a great country … and we thank God for giving us so much resources. But we need to develop our resources,” Buhari said.

Concerning security in the North West, the President said it was really sad that the people who lived together, sharing same culture and outlook for a long time could steal, kidnap and kill one another.

However, he stated that more military personnel would be posted to the North West to take care of the situation, having secured more hardware.
