I‘ll leave Nigeria better than I met it – Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari Friday in Abuja assured Christian leaders in the country of his commitment to leave Nigeria better than he met it in 2015.

Receiving the leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) led by Samson Ayokunle, the president of the association, Mr Buhari said his administration will continue to address important national challenges, including security, economy and corruption.

The CAN leadership had earlier told State House correspondents that they were at the State House to congratulate Mr Buhari on his re-election.

A statement by Mr Buhari’s spokesperson, Feni Adesina, said the president told the delegation that the outcome of the just concluded polls underscores the trust Nigerians have in the present leadership in the country.

‘‘We will continue to strive for peaceful co-existence among all Nigerians irrespective of their religious beliefs.

‘‘In the area of allocation of political offices, our focus will be on merit and national spread such that every part of Nigeria will have a sense of belonging.

‘‘We remain resolute in the fight against terrorism and insurgency, and efforts to bring back all those in captivity and other victims of kidnappings will be intensified,’’ Mr Buhari said.
