Muhammadu Buhari insisted that he had fulfilled major promises made to the electorate during his political campaign.

Buhari paid homage to Lamido of Adamawa, Alhaji Muhammadu Barkindo at his palace, said that the fight against corruption and maintaining peace and security were among the priorities of his administration.He said that the elite had forgotten that Buhari presented the treasure single account where tens of trillions of naira belonging to the Nigerian people were saved. He listed some of Buhari's visible achievements to include security, the economy and the fight against corruption. He called on the federal government to look into the Chochi water and rice irrigation project, which he says has been abandoned for more than 20 years. The monarch called on the president to intervene and reconsider the modernization of the Moddibo Adama, Yola University of Technology in full conventional university with schools of management, information technology, health among others.

“We appreciate security progress in the North East and the country at large’.

He explained also that economic development has improved, especially in the area of agriculture.

“We are lucky that for the past two years farmers across the country experienced excellent harvests,” Buhari said.

He said that Federal ministry of agriculture and Central Bank of Nigeria would continue to support farmers in years to come in order to sustain sufficient national food production and economic growth.

He said he was aware of the abandoned Chochi water and irrigation project in Yola South local government area and explained that no one should be blamed for it.

Barkindo had advised Buhari not to listen to the call by some “empty barrel Nigerian elite’’ that he should not seek for a second term.

“I am calling you to remain focus, stand firm and don’t listen to the empty barrels Nigerian elites who are calling you not to re-contest for 2019 Presidential election.

“They are burying their heads in shame and telling people that Buhari’s led Government has done nothing,” Barkindo noted.
