President- Elect, Gen. Mohammadu Buhari has reassured Nigerians that he will not betray their trust saying that the government the All Progressives Congress will put in place will be very effective.
The President-Elect said this while receiving a delegation of supporters of the All Progressives Congress from Taraba State at his campaign headquarters in Abuja.
He said that he will ensure greater reforms in the electoral process so that Nigerians can elect leaders of their choice and make their votes count.
The President-elect added that he is overwhelmed by the sacrifices made by ordinary Nigerians to ensure that their votes count, he said “I assure you that the government that the APC will eventually put in place will be effective. We will never betray the people because people risked everything; some lost their lives for this cause to make sure that they vote the leadership they believe in, the leadership they trust in this multi-party democracy.”
He said he counts himself lucky that Nigerians believe in him and the All Progressives Congress.
While admonishing Senator Aisha Alhassan, the APC Gubernatorial Candidate in Taraba who led the delegation, Buhari said “Aisha, don’t give up. You are younger and this is your first attempt. I contested three times and this is my fourth attempt. I hope that you succeed in the court. I hope you will win in the court.
“But we thank God for technology-PVC and card reader. If not this luck we had with technology and the insistence of constituencies to make sure they were used, in two political zones where they were subverted, the people wanted to vote but they were not allowed to vote.
“They continued with what they used to do — go to their party offices or their seating rooms, write the results, go to radio house and television house and announce the result and say whoever does not want the result should go to court.”
