Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir David Lawal, has urged Nigerians not to give up on the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari due to the hardship being experienced at the moment.
Lawal made the urge while addressing a pro-Buhari group who gathered at the Unity Fountain in Abuja to support the current leadership.
The SGF, who likened the scourge of Nigeria’s economic recession to the bitter taste of quinine, told the Buhari supporters that the nation would come out of its current mishap in a couple of months.

He further hinted on the possibility of President Buhari to seek re-election into office in 2019.
“I’m here to thank you for the support you have been giving to this government. As a government, we are encouraged by your support. It is this type of support that encourages the President to do more.
“We want to assure you that this government is on top of the situation. As much as we understand the challenges that we are facing, there is no cure without medicine.
“It is for no reason that quinine is very bitter, but after you have taken it, you get well. I assure you that by the grace of God, in the next one year, Nigeria will have a booming economy. We know what they were doing to try to sabotage the activities of government to bring Nigeria back to economic prosperity. They will fail.

“Nigeria will never go back to the position it was before 2015. The foundation being laid by the government is solid. And nobody, even after the President has finished his eight years, can ever take us back to the pre-2015 days,” the SGF said.
