The Change I Promised Will Take Two Election Cycles To Mature – Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday pleaded with Nigerians to give him more than “one election cycle” to enable him deliver the change he promised in 2015.

Describing the change he promised as a “process” rather than “an event”, President Buhari pleaded to be given more time to deliver the “fruits of the efforts” he has put into turning the country around since assuming office over three years ago.

The President made the appeal while delivering a lecture at the Island Club, Lagos. He was represented by the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr Babatunde Fashola.

He said, “It took more than one term and one election cycle of the chairman of Island Club to build this hall just as it will require more than one election cycle to build the nation and deliver change.

“The process of change and reform did not happen because Island Club did anything; it happened because people, members of the club, and I believe, non-members, who were men of goodwill, chose to act.”

Buhari said regardless of opposition “who frustrated earlier government food security policies such as Operation Feed the Nation and the Green Revolution,” his administration has set the country on the path of food security through several measures.

“It is because of these small business owners, hard-working Nigerians that I am offering myself to serve for one more time,” he said.
