President Muhammadu Buhari says the time has come to serve Nigerians well since the 2019 elections “are behind us”.

Speaking at the presidential villa in Abuja while receiving the Buhari Support Group Centre, the president said his administration will continue to serve the ordinary people and explore the country’s potentials for growth.

Buhari said the results of the 2019 elections reflected the voice of Nigerians in favour of his administration.

“The 2019 elections are behind us. Nigerians have spoken, and they have spoken loudly in our favour. It is now time to serve them, and serve well. We will not fail,” he said.

“We will serve honestly, genuinely, and with our heart and might. Our country has oscillated for too long at the level of promises and potentials.

“It is now time to explore and exploit the potentials for the good of all Nigerians, particularly the ordinary people. It shall be accomplished.”

The president commended members of the group for their “steadfastness”, assuring them of inclusiveness in pursuing the goal of good governance for the country.

“This group is composed of people who have identified with me since I threw my political hat into the ring in 2002,” Buhari said.

“And they have stood with me through thick and thin, abiding with me in the electoral and legal processes of 2003, 2007, 2011, till God gave us victory in 2015, and also 2019.

“Many more people joined us along the line, and the centre expands by the day. I salute your faithfulness, your persistence, and your ruggedness.

“It never ceases to amaze me that you have kept faith, even when I have not given you much, or even anything, in return.”
