President Buhari assures Nigerians: I will keep doing my best

President Muhammadu Buhari says his administration will keep doing its best to provide sustainable solutions to the nation's challenges.

His Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, in a statement, quoted him as saying this on Monday while receiving associations of farmers, businessmen, youths, elders and politicians from his country home of Daura, Katsina State.

President Buhari, who assured Nigerians of his commitment to serving the nation, attributed his recent recovery to a divine act of the Almighty God.

Buhari noted that he returned to the country with renewed hope and strength to pursue policies that would improve the livelihood of the people and reposition Nigeria for good.

He said: “Considering the challenges we are facing as a nation, we have been doing our best to provide sustainable solutions, and we will keep doing our best.

“I am happy you came here today, and I am thankful for all the prayers. You are leaders of various groups at the grass root, and you are closer to the people so you understand these problems as well. We need your support."

In his remarks, the leader of the group of associations, Zannan-Daura, Alhaji Sani Ahmed Daura, said the president’s return signalled God’s interest in turning around the fortunes of the country.

“On behalf of all the elders here, we are grateful to God you returned alive, and in good health,’’ he said. 

Daura, a former Assistant Inspector General of Police, said the President’s life of patience, endurance and contentment was exemplary, praying that God would give him more strength and wisdom to lead the country.

Earlier, President Buhari had received the Emir of Katsina, Alhaji Abdulmumini Kabir Usman and his entourage.
