President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday in Abuja assured Christian leaders in the country of his commitment to leave Nigeria better than he met it in 2015.

He spoke while receiving the leadership of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) led by Rev Dr Samson Ayokunle, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

In a statement by the Special Adviser on Media and publicity, Femi Adesina, the President affirmed that his administration will continue to address important national challenges including security, economy and corruption.

While CAN leadership was at State House to congratulate President Buhari on his re-election, the President told them the outcome of the just concluded polls underscored the trust Nigerians have in the present leadership in the country.


‘‘We will continue to strive for peaceful co-existence among all Nigerians irrespective of their religious beliefs.

‘‘In the area of allocation of political offices, our focus will be on merit and national spread such that every part of Nigeria will have a sense of belonging.

‘‘We remain resolute in the fight against terrorism and insurgency, and efforts to bring back all those in captivity and other victims of kidnappings will be intensified,’’ the President said.

Commending the important roles religious bodies have played in the last four years of the administration, President Buhari pledged to continue supporting several programmes anchored by the Nigeria Inter-Religious Council (NIREC), geared towards peace, tolerance, unity and harmony in our country.

In his congratulatory message, the CAN president prayed God to grant President Buhari ‘‘everything it takes to perform hundred times better than’’ his first term, stressing that the organisation had the success of this administration at heart.

Rev Ayokunle welcomed the President’s pledge to run an inclusive government in a speech shortly after his re-election, noting that the gesture would give all in the country a sense of belonging.

The leadership of the Christian body in Nigeria also called for ethnic and religious balance in the selection of leadership of the ninth National Assembly.

While appealing to the President to task security agencies to be more proactive in their duties, the CAN leader made a passionate request for deliberate and relentless efforts to free Leah Sharibu, other Chibok girls and Nigerians in captivity of insurgents.

I don't take the words of naija politicians seriously. They are never in lack of what to say but what they say and what they actually do are totally different things but this buhari's regime seems to have taken the cake regarding doing the opposite of what they say. Baba abeg go siddon. You are making nigeria worse than it was.

Pppuuuuurrrrrrllllleeeeeaaaassseee! Tell us something we haven't heard before.

Enough talking. Plunge into action please.

More rhetorics.

GEJ handed buhari a benz...what we have today is worst than keke.
