I don't think I still have to us about the usual act of our politicians when they are aiming at a political position, they'll keep on making promises upon promises. I think Buhari is trying to make a change by calling his 'Covenant'.
My Covenant With Nigerians- Buhari
Dear Compatriots,
In the past few months that I have traveled round this country on campaigns, I have experienced the sheer beauty of our diversity. From Port Harcourt to Kano, from Abeokuta to Gusau, I experienced first-hand the daily sufferings and struggles of our people. I also experienced the overwhelming desire of our people for change.
When I arrived in Port Harcourt on the 5th of January to start my campaigns, I was met by ourteeming supporters, who stayed till late in the evening to welcome us. Among them were many young men and women, who in the few minutes that I shared with them at the airport, made me to reflect on what kind of future awaits them in our country.
The gestures of 90-year-old Hajia Fadimatu Mai Talle Tarafrom Kebbi State and 9-years-oldNicole Eniiyi Benson from Lagos State, who donated their life-savings to my campaign, reflect the overwhelming desire of our people for change. In their gestures, I perceived a longing for the days when honour, national pride and dignity of labour were the fundamental social principles that governed ourcountry. As I encountered millions of our youths, who sometimes run for hours in front of my car and hanging precariously on our campaign vehicles at our state rallies, I also pondered the enormity of the task ahead. How do we give jobs to our youth? How do we reform our economy and make it work for every Nigerian?
I know however, that what we require to revamp our economy and rebuild our country isour ability to galvanize all our citizens to believe once again in their government, in their country and especially, to believe in themselves. This can only happen if we are ableto rebuild the trust and belief that our people used to have in government, and indeed, in ournation. The leadership that I will provide will bebuilt on this critical awareness. I intend to lead with integrity and honour and commit myself totally to everything that is of concern to our people: security, employment, health, education, good governance and others.
This Covenant is to outline my agenda for Nigeria and provide a bird’s eye view of how weintend to bring about the change that our country needs and deserves. This Covenant is derived from the manifesto of my party, the AllProgressives Congress (APC). It however, represents my pledge to you all when I becomeyour President.
I have no doubt that God being on our side, with the abiding support of all Nigerians, we shall all witness the great change that we desireand achieve the Nigeria of our dream.
Thank you
Gen. Muhammadu BUHARI (Rtd.), GCFR
Presidential Candidate, APC
