Nigerians will appreciate Buhari better after his tenure in 2023 — Presidency

The Presidency on Friday said Nigerians will appreciate President Muhammadu Buhari after the expiration of his tenure in 2023.

Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, stated this via a statement issued to mark the sixth anniversary of the current administration.

“When the Administration breasts the tape in another two years, by the grace of God, the applause will be resounding, even from the worst of sceptics,” the statement partly read. “As it is said, the past is but a story told. The future may yet be written in gold. Facts are undeniable and always remain so. They are stubborn things.”

According to the presidential spokesman, the milestone recorded by President Buhari’s government has afforded an “opportunity to reflect, and recount the impact that has been made (and is being made) on different sectors of national life.”

He also cited critical areas ranging from infrastructure, anti-corruption, human development, among others where he said the President has performed well.

Adesina added, “From infrastructure, to finance, education, healthcare, sports, anti-corruption, human development, housing, oil and gas, foreign relations, and many others, the Administration is recording giant strides, enough to make Nigerians proud.

“That is, those who are dispassionate and fair-minded, not beclouded by political partisanship and undue cynicism.”
