History will speak more of my stewardship: Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday in Abuja said time and history would no doubt speak more eloquently of his stewardship.

Mr Buhari stated this at an event tagged “Preserving PMB Legacy”, organised by the Ministry of Information and Culture to conclude its scorecard series.

The event witnessed the inauguration of the PMB legacy portal, testimony series, documentary and a compendium of the Buhari administration’s achievements.

Represented by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, the president said he could confidently say that his administration had given off as much as it could and positively impacted the citizens’ lives.

“Hearing from citizens themselves, the petty trader who was able to expand her business because of TraderMoni, the unemployed graduate benefitting from the N-Power programme, discovers a new and profitable path.

 “We see and hear recorded for history, the passengers who could not hide their excitement at the seamless operation of the modern railway system or the state-of-the-art airport terminals.

“We also saw the president of the rice farmers association who told us how rice production in the country has increased exponentially under the Anchor Borrowers Programme.

“These are real people provided with a springboard to do more for themselves and their communities; real people inspired to hope and believe that Nigeria can be positively transformed in our lifetime,” he said.

The president said the government is a continuum, and he desired that the unfinished business of his administration found continuity and fulfilment in his successor as he did to his predecessor.

He said the administration considered it a privilege and an honour to serve the people of Nigeria.

Also speaking, the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, said the scorecard series was introduced to consolidate all the ministry had been doing since 2015 to propagate the policies and programmes of the administration.

He said the forum countered the pushback by the opposition and the naysayers, who contended that the present administration had achieved nothing.
