“We Feel Your Pain”- President Buhari Tells Nigerians

President Muhamamdu Buhari on Thursday assured Nigerians that he sees all we are going through and that the Federal Government feels the pain of the populace.

PMB insists that despite the various current challenges facing the country, Nigeria would be great again under his watch.
He said this  while speaking with Muslim leaders in Osun State shortly after joining them in the Zuhr prayer held inside the Government House after he inaugurated the N1.35bn Osogbo Government High School.

Buhari urged the Muslim clerics to continue their intense prayers for the country, saying things would be better.

He said, “I thank you for your prayers for the nation. God will help us to secure Nigeria and efficiently manage it. Please continue to pray for us. I can assure you that Nigeria will be great again.”
He also said that with progressive governance system in place, it would only be a matter of time before more would be done that would quicken the pace of development in the country.

He said there should be substantial commitment of energy and resources to education by all levels of government, adding that that was how to renew the society and shape the future of the children.

Buhari said although change could not come on a platter of gold, his administration would do its best to deliver on the promise of change.

He said, “We promised the Nigerian people positive and progressive change during our campaign. We are not and shall not be deterred from that noble undertaking.

“But as we have learnt from history, change has never been attained by nation states on a bed of roses, but rather, through patience, perseverance and steadfastness.

“We are quite aware of the pains and inconveniences that have been the lot of the citizenry in the past one year as we strive to faithfully implement our programmes in fulfilment of our change agenda.

“We are, however, comforted by the real change and progress we have made in fighting corruption and restoring integrity to government; providing security for lives and property; and positioning the government for effectiveness and especially deregulating the oil sector.”

Buhari said he was determined to remain on track as his administration strived to deliver the country from past mistakes in fulfilment of its promise of improving the conditions of the people and making Nigeria a prosperous country.

He also said he and members of his cabinet were quite aware of the pains Nigerians were being made to go through due to his administration’s resolve to implement the change promised during electioneering.
