My Govt Has Done Its Best – Buhari to Nigerians

President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday, said Nigerians must display a sense of fairness when assessing his administration’s efforts in tackling insecurity.

According to the President, if Nigerians must do so, they must reflect on what was obtained at the time he took over office in 2015, and what currently prevails.

In his opinion, the decisive break from the past, where security in the Northeast and the South-South was in dire straits should be the basis for benchmarking his administration’s performance and successes now.

He made these remarks, while playing host to the Grand Khalifa (overall head) of the Tijjaniyya Islamic Movement World-Wide, who paid him a visit at the State House, Abuja on Friday.
