Buhari says his best good enough for Nigeria

President Muhammadu Buhari has said that his administration is doing its best to correct and reverse the terrible mismanagement the country had experienced, declaring that with some luck, his best will be good enough.

The President spoke while receiving a delegation of non-career ambassadors from Nigeria serving in various missions across the world, who came to the State House, Abuja, to congratulate him on his re-election.

He said Nigeria was trying to live within her means, “so we can improve our lot,” adding that government was determined to upgrade the country’s profile, both locally and internationally.

Buhari said it would be inexcusable for government not to take care of its ambassadors in their various stations, hence the special attention being paid to the country’s foreign missions.

Speaking on behalf of the delegation, Ambassador Ashimiyu Olaniyi, said President Buhari’s election in 2015 and his recent re-election are divine interventions in the affairs of the country.

“You are God-sent. You have always come on stage at the critical moments of our national history to right the wrongs of the past,” Ambassador Olaniyi said.
