Do Not Expect Miracles From Me, Buhari Tells Nigerians
General Muhammadu Buhari, Nigeria’s President-Elect, on Sunday called on Nigerians not to expect miracles from him when he assumes power on May the 29th.
General Buhari, who spoke with the BBC, said the war against insurgency is on-going, noting that “for five, six years, the Nigerian law enforcement agencies,
including the military, couldn’t secure 14
local governments.
“How can I promise miracles when I come?
But with the cooperation of our
neighbours, Cameroon, Chad, Niger and the international community, and the
commitment we are going to get from the
military, I think it will take us a much
shorter time to deal with it,” he said.
On his other major campaign promises to
decisively fight corruption and
unemployment, the President-elect said: “I
made that promise and I hope Nigerians
will give me the opportunity to see whether my effort will be good enough or not.”
He, however, admitted that the tasks are
enormous but would be dealt with.
