The event, which is taking place at the Presidential Villa
Banquet Hall is also to showcase the achievements of the President since 2015.
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr Boss
Mustapha, is doing the slide presentation.
Buhari asked Nigerians to re-elect him in 2019, primarily to
keep fighting the corruption war his administration started in 2015.
He also stated that his commitment to provision of
infrastructure, rebuilding the economy and sustaining the anti-insurgency war
would be re-doubled if given a second opportunity.
The two-part document also show-cased the achievements of his
administration in the past three years, especially in the provision of
infrastructure and tackling insecurity.
The President, whose speech was devoted more to corruption,
noted that except the county was rid of the problem, it would get nowhere.
He stated, “To succeed, moral integrity and conscience must
continue to form the dominant character of our nation and its leadership.
“Corruption is an existential threat to Nigeria. Despite the
gains we have made in closing the gates, we know that there is still much
ground to be covered to stop systematic corruption. We are committed to
deepening the work we stated this past term.
“The Nation’s assets and resources will continue to be
organised and utilised for the good of the common man.”
The President told Nigerians that they were left between
leaving him in office to fight corruption or allow the county to return to the
past.
Buhari added, “The next four years will be quite significant
for our country. Nigeria is faced with a choice to keep on building a new
Nigeria or to go back to its tainted past, which favoured the opportunistic
few.
“Our choices will surely shape us, defining clearly, our
economic security and our future prosperity. Nigeria, more than ever before,
needs a stable and people-focussed government to move the development of our
county forward.
“Join us in this journey to the next level, for a strong and
stable Nigeria…”
