Posted by: Folamidavid in News, Politics Dec 26, 2019

President Muhammadu Buhari has come out to say that 2019 was a very successful year for Nigeria.

He disclosed this as he received residents of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) led by the Minister, Malam Muhammad Bello, during the traditional Christmas Day homage, at the State House, Abuja.

PMB appreciated Nigerians for having faith in him and supporting his government to take Nigeria to the Next Level.

He added that his government believes they need to get infrastructure right and the people will not even care about who is in power.

His words, “We thank God. It has been a very successful year, relative to the composition of this country, both politically and ethnically.”

‘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 sympathise with me.”

Do you agree with him?
