I’m leaving Nigeria better: President Buhari’s Farewell Broadcast To The Nation [Video]
President Muhammadu Buhari, who is bowing out of the office tomorrow, has apologised to Nigerians for the hardship caused by some of the decisions taken by his administration over the last eight years.
He, however, insists that he is leaving the nation better than he met it.
Buhari, in a broadcast this morning, his last as president, says he feels fulfilled that “we have started the Nigeria Re-Birth by taking the initial critical steps,” and believes the in-coming administration will “quicken the pace of this walk to see a Nigeria that fulfils its destiny to be a great nation.”
He paid tributes to incoming President Bola Tinubu who he called “my brother, friend and fellow worker in the political terrain for the past 10 years,” and congratulated him for “the realisation of your dream, which was propelled by a burning passion to put Nigeria amongst the leading nations of the world.”
He added: “You have indeed worked for this day and God has crowned your efforts. I have no doubt that your passion for excellence, reliance on competence, fairness in relationships, commitment to equity, loyalty to the country and desire for Nigeria to be globally relevant would come through for you, under God’s guidance, as you lead our country to levels higher that I am leaving.”
“My fellow Nigerian brothers, sisters and friends of Nigeria.
“I address you today, in my last assignment as a democratically elected President of our great and well-endowed nation, with a deep sense of gratitude to God, a great deal of appreciation to the Nigerian people and a modest sense of fulfillment.
“Today we mark and celebrate another peaceful transition of power from one elected government to another in our steady march to improve and sustain Nigeria’s democracy.
