General Muhammadu Buhari, the president-elect, has declared that ruling Nigeria will be a difficult task due to the level of decay the nation has endured under the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Buhari, who made the declaration in Yola, the Adamawa state capital, during a town hall meeting, compared the deficient rule of the PDP in Nigeria to a colossal rape of the nation.
According to Blueprint, Buhari noted that for Nigeria to get out of the sorry state it has found itself, “there should be commitment and perseverance in the leadership of the country.”
Acknowledging that corruption is the main issue bedeviling the country, he promised to fight the wide spread corruption in Nigeria so as to salvage the country from the throes of economic bankruptcy.
He said: “We need to fight corruption squarely for Nigeria to move forward. We will run a transparent government. In doing so, I will not favour my family.”
The President elect also promised that the new government will do its best possible to fix things in right perspective.
“Though many expect that things will change in a day, it is not so; this is because it will take us years to amend changes. Nigerians are in haste; people should not see the change that we are championing as happening in a twinkle of an eye; we need prayers and patience for us to succeed, he added.
Buhari won the March 28 presidential election under the umbrella of the All Progressives Congress, defeating the incumbent president, Goodluck Jonathan, who was the flag bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party.
He has made the fight against corruption the focus of his government and has assured Nigerians that corruption will not be tolerated in his administration.
