We Have Achieved A Lot – Buhari Boasts After Meeting 12 APC Governors In Daura

President Muhammadu Buhari urged historians and intellectuals to be factual in safeguarding the administration’s record, especially in assisting the public to make the best leadership choice for the country, on Thursday in Daura, Katsina State.

The President made the remarks while hosting a group of 12 All Progressives Congress (APC) governors at his country house in Daura, Katsina State, where he spent the Eid-el-Kabir Sallah vacation.

In a press release issued on Thursday, Garba Shehu, the President’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, revealed the conclusion of the meeting.

According to President Buhari,
“the future of the country would be shaped by the diligence and honesty of those who document history and provide analysis of situations, knowing the value of what obtained in the past, and afterwards.

“it would be unfortunate to mislead electorate with lies, and personal bias, reiterating the need to put the larger interest of the country beyond other colorations.

“For the time remaining, and for those who have one more term in office based on the provision of the constitution, the elections are important to the parties. Intellectuals and historians should be fair to us so that those who are looking for leadership positions will not exploit the political ignorance or lack of knowledge of the people,’’ he said.

The President urged the governors to remain steadfast on delivering their promises to the people.

“We have done our best and thank God for what we have been able to achieve with the available resources, otherwise we would have been in trouble,’’ he added.

According to President Buhari, “the security situation had improved compared to the instability in the North East before 2015, and the South South, where some parts of the north were directly under the control of terrorists, while the south was facing serious challenges.

“The subsequent development in the North West is the most amazing, where people who lived together, spoke same language and shared common faith started killing each other and rustling cows.

“I had to change the security chiefs and we had to get down to the fundamentals of providing security. If you look at the situation in relation to time and resources, you will find out what we have been able to achieve, ’’ the President noted.
