“As a government that was propelled into office by the power
of the people, we cannot but feel the pains of our compatriots, and we deeply
empathise with them. We are working round the clock to ease the pains of Nigerians,
and the effort of the government has started yielding fruits.
We seek to make the petroleum products available nationwide,
restore gas supply to the power generating firms, improve the economy and put
Nigerians back to work,’’ The president said that he understood that Nigerians
had started questioning whether this indeed was the ‘Change’ they voted for.
He said that some had even gone as far as saying that by voting
for the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nigerians had entered “One Chance”. “Well,
I can tell Nigerians that our change agenda is real, and that indeed, they will
get the change they voted for.
"Nigerians have not entered ‘One Chance’, because the
‘One Chance’ drivers and their conductors have been driven out of town, Change
is a process, and that process has begun. The pains of today are temporary, and
will soon give way to abundant joy as we put our country firmly on the path of
sustainable growth and development,” he said.
The President said that all Nigerians, the civil society organisations
and the media were the real heroes of the last general elections and the
country’s democracy in general. He commended the media for the role it played
in ensuring the relative success of the last general elections and the resilience
of the nation’s democracy since the beginning of the Republic.
“When the history of the last general elections as well as our democracy is eventually written, I have no doubt that the media will occupy a prominent place on its honour’s list.
