The President said he is determined to help strengthen the electoral process both in Nigeria and across the region.
Elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. I salute the commitment of the millions who voted in peace last February and of those leaders who contested for office vigorously but fairly, submitting to the authority of the electorate, the Independent National Electoral Commission and judicial process.
The Federal Government will continue to work with State Governors, neighbouring states and our international partners to tackle the root causes of violent extremism and the networks that help finance and organise terror. Our security forces will receive the best training and modern weaponry, and in turn will be held to the highest standards of professionalism, and respect for human rights.
As we have sat down to celebrate with friends and family over this holiday season, for the first time in a generation our food plates have not all been filled with imports of products we know can easily be produced here at home. Already, we are making key infrastructure investments to enhance our ease of doing business. On transportation, we are making significant progress on key roads such as the Second Niger Bridge, Lagos – Ibadan Expressway and the Abuja – Kano highway. 2020 will also see tangible progress on the Lagos to Kano Rail line.
While we look to create new opportunities in agriculture, manufacturing and other long neglected sectors, in 2020 we will also realise increased value from oil and gas, delivering a more competitive, attractive and profitable industry, operating on commercial principles and free from political interference.
President Buhari must go
Have Buhari resigned?
How can mosquito bite dog , buhari is just planning what his empty brain calculate , is better for you to go and enjoy your life with your wife
You can fool Nigerians by borrowing money here and there, your time is over it time for new ideas
Before nko! No one is bigger than the constitution...supremacyofthelaw
Of course, that is the time set for him based on the constitution, it is what the constitution says that matters...
'standing down'
The sheep who cried wolf
Wich you have done, so Baba ride on and fence your ear toward what the political scallywags say about you. May your days be Long BABA
Baba,you have made it clear to Nigerians that, there is nothing like 3th term tenure and I also believe that it's constitutional that, the period of office accupancy last for four years and it is subject to renewal but, only if the accupier of such office perform credibly well...
There's no standing down in a democracy, your tenure ends and you bow out.
What nonsense is this?
If you like stand up, e concern you...
Best
That's constitutional and nothing more to add. It's no news.
Wailers continue wailing
thetrumpwrath
Same man said he will not seek second term and many more lies. He fraudstar. Public beware!
No need, kuku die there...
Why not this year? Why wait till 2021...
One thing is to say you stand down, another thing is to come again and say Nigerians says you should re-contest. Scam Everywhere!
This is no news..pls ...
Was he planning to stand up before?
He really talk like a general
As if he is doing Nigerians favor.. This man simple lacks everything...
Before nko...
No oooo, die there
If you like stand up
Everyone knows that. That's what you swore to abide by. It would have been news where you said you won't leave office in 2023.
Did Nigeria voted this skeleton as life president? Why his Staff using such statement as his New year speech? Nigeria is a joke as a country.
You're constitution bound by this sir. Fix the economy, electricity, infrastructures and security
'Standing down' does he want to run for the office of god for which other office?
MBuhari You are not stepping down. 2023 ends your 2nd term so there is no room for 3rd term. All road leads to your village.
Ma Shaa Allah!!! Alhamdulillah!!!
This sounds ridiculous. Does he have another term left nè? Go You have been a disappointment to Nigerians
' standing down' Hallelujah 3x
Ode!!! Weren't you meant to stand down after 4 years before!
Errr....thats what he's supposed to do....
Well, nice one sir, but time will tell
Lol, this is just 2020 na.
That's Constitutional. WTF he mean?
E be like say the seat don the tire am 🚶♂🚶♂🚶♂ Can't wait to give testimony
If he likes let him refuse to step down
If you like, plan to sit down. We hope there will still be some modicum of love left amongst Nigerians by the time your tour is over.
Hahaha. the president thinks he's a military ruler. Please someone close to him should remind him that he's 'democratically elected' nigerian leader.
we gain nothing by starting all over again. Wasting money on unnecessary elections when we could be miles ahead.
No please don't. We need extended stability in order to fix Nigeria, we can join the rest of the world with this 4yr tenure thing soon as we get our fundamentals right. Let Buhari stay until we get a proper system in place until our vision as a nation is clear...
Nothing like standing down, leaving office, is leaving office.
no sir it means your tenure is up and we are done with you
Its important you focus on doing what is best for the country before your tenure expires. channels don't make your news bored by making this a news.
