President Muhammadu Buhari has
appealed to politicians to go about their campaigns peacefully, and not set the
county ablaze.
He made the appeal while flagging
off his reelection campaign at the state house conference centre, Abuja.
The president said his
administration had recorded milestone in the last three years, and is looking
forward to fulfilling more if given a new term.
“I am not unmindful that the
national assembly and the presidential campaign starts today, I will implore
candidates to go about the campaigns peacefully and decently,” he said.
“We have no other country, let us
not set it ablaze because of politics.”
Buhari spoke on his plans to
overhaul the education sector.
“Every child counts – and simply,
whatever it takes to prepare our teachers, curriculum and classrooms to attain
the right educational goals that grow our country, will be done,” he said.
“We will remodel 10,000 schools
every year and retain our teachers to impart science, technology, engineering,
art and mathematics using coding, animation, robotics to re-interpreter our
curriculum.”
He said his administration had
done a lot in fighting corruption but admitted that there is still much to do.
“Corruption is an existential
threat to Nigeria. Despite the gains we have made in closing the gates, we know
that there is still much ground to cover to stop the systemic corruption,” he
said.
“We are committed to deepening
the work we started this first term such that the nation’s assets and resources
continue to be organised and utilised to do good for the common man.
“The next four years will be
quite significant for our country. Nigeria is faced with a choice to keep
building a new Nigeria – making a break from its tainted past which favoured an
opportunistic few.
“Our choices will shape us – our
economic security and our future prosperity. Nigeria, more than ever before,
needs a stable and people-focused government to move the agenda for our country
forward.”
