You’ll not regret trusting me, Buhari tells Nigerians

President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday flagged off his campaign for re-election in Uyo, Akwa Ibom state, with a promise not to fail Nigerians.

“I assure you that you will not regret trusting us,” Mr Buhari said from the stage, where he stood with other leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC), to address the large crowd at the 30,000-capacity Godswill Akpabio International Stadium.

“We are going to secure this country, we are going to manage it properly. We are going to stop corruption,” the president said.

The president thanked the people of Akwa Ibom and others in the South-south for coming out to welcome him in Uyo.

President Buhari was accompanied to Uyo by the APC national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, a national leader of the party, Bola Tinubu, and some of the APC governors, including Rochas Okorocha of Imo State.
