He noted that Nigeria had fared well under the leadership of Buhari’s six years reign and the progress is visible for all to see.

He posited that the current issues confronting the country, most especially insecurity, were as a result of the sixteen years misrule of the PDP, urging all Nigerians to support President Buhari as he continues to address the issue.

His words:

“Agriculture and infrastructure have been the major focus of the Buhari’s administration. Farmers have obtained more friendly loan packages than before. Nigeria rail system was regarded as the worst in Africa before Buhari’s emergence in 2015."
