Fulfillment Of Electoral Promises Not Easy – Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday said he was committed to the fulfilment of his electoral promises to Nigerians.He however admitted that the task is not an easy one.Buhari spoke at the
Graduation Ceremony of Course 24 of the National Defence College, Abuja where he was the Special Guest of Honour.He said though it was not easy to make good the electoral promises, he and
members of his team were trusting in God that they would deliver through hard work and sound vision.He said, “Let me assure you all that this administration is committed to bequeathing to this nation, a new orientation in leadership that will be service-driven and committed to the realisation of its promises to the electorates.“We are however not under any illusions that this task is an easy one.“But we have put our trust in God knowing that with hard work and sound vision, we will triumph.”Buhari expressed delight that in the last one year, through the hard work, dedication and sacrifices made by members of the nation’s armed forces and security services, the nation had been able to degrade the capacity of Boko Haram insurgents to wreck havoc.On the incessant clashes between herdsmen and farmers, the President said his administration would not condone any act of criminality.He said he had therefore directed security agencies to deal decisively with the situation.“On the matter of herdsmen/farmers clashes, I wish to state that this administration will not tolerate or condone acts of banditry and criminality, under any guise.“As such, our security agencies have been mandated to deal with such acts decisively.” Let me state that this administration has been working assiduously in conjunction with our local and international partners, to rebuild damaged communities in North East part of our country.
