Buhari pledges to work harder in his second term

President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday assured Nigerians that he will not let them down in his second term which he described as “my last lap”.

The President who pledged to work harder in tackling the country’s challenges, made the pledge while receiving the leadership of the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), who paid him a congratulatory visit at the presidential villa, Abuja.

The President said,“This is my last lap, I will try to work harder. I assure you, I will not let you down.”

“I’m very appreciative of this visit, especially when I have seen some of my seniors, some of my colleagues and a couple of my juniors, among the team. This reminds me of the good old days when we were in the military.

“Actually, nobody dropped from the sky. For Arewa Consultative Forum to identify with me, having come from this geo-political zone, I’m very much appreciative of this.

“I’m very pleased with the address of the chairman who reminded me of the undertaken we made basically on the three important things my party campaigned on and succeeded.”

Earlier, the chairman of the ACF’s board of trustees, Adamu Fika, who led the delegation, said the visit was to congratulate the president over his victory at the polls and projects completed bt the administration.

Some of the projects he listed include the Baro Dry Port, the Mambilla Hydro power, self- sufficiency in agricultural produce, road construction and rehabilitation, and above all oil and gas exploration.
