2019: Why I Deserve Nigerians’ Votes Again – Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari said he is proud to say that Nigeria has changed for the better in terms of corruption and lack of transparency that used to exist in past governments.

For these, he said he is hoping Nigerian electorates will return him to office next year for the purpose of continuity.

Buhari said this during a meeting with
religious leaders at an interfaith seminar in Abuja.

“I am proud to say that our country has moved on, the era of free money, lack of transparency and accountability is over. We deserve continuity; we deserve a better future for the coming generations,” the president mentioned.

Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury in England, was present at the event and delivered a keynote. John Onaiyekan, leader of the Catholic Church in Nigeria, and Sa’ad Abubakar, Sultan of Sokoto, were also present, according to a dispatch from the State House Saturday afternoon.

Mr Buhari urged the leaders to continue to preach peace and unity, saying his government is working relentlessly to resolve all crises.

He also promised a seamless election in 2019, and urged all those who lost in the primaries to seek judicial redress or use internal resolution mechanisms of their respective political parties.

“I sincerely hope 2019 will move us closer to these goals and so I look forward to a peaceful, fair and credible elections come 2019,”
Buhari said.
