It is time to make more sacrifices, Buhari tells politicians
The President-elect, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, on Tuesday in Abuja, said the time had come to make more sacrifices and deliver on the promises made to the electorate.
Buhari said this when a delegation of All Progressives Congress (APC) politicians from Kogi and Kwara states paid him a courtesy visit at the party presidential campaign headquarters in Abuja.
He said it was time to restore security and confidence in the people who placed their trust in the party by voting its candidates at various levels.
He added that “I want to appeal to you to work with your colleagues across the country to ensure that we maintain and sustain this unexpected gains in the best interest of our country.
“It is time to make a lot more sacrifices. You are the real foot soldiers and you have the constituencies in your hands.’’
Buhari then urged those who won election on the platform of the APC at different levels to ensure that they made impact on the electorate.
He said “let us make sacrifices and deliver on what we promised the people to make our jobs as members of the executive much easier.
“People should feel secure in Nigeria. Let us give confidence to the people who voted us in no matter who you are, you should get justice.
“Whatever we can do in terms of social services, healthcare and security should be done, that is all they need.’’
The president-elect expressed gratitude to the electorate in the constituencies as he recalled the political structures which collapsed into forming the APC on the day he visited the area.
Gov. Abdulfattah Ahmed of Kwara, who led his state’s APC delegation, pledged allegiance to Buhari’s government in his congratulatory message.
He recalled that the North-Central played a major role in ensuring that Buhari got block votes from the region in the March 28 elections.
Former Kogi Governor, Abubakar Audu, who led the Kogi delegation, assured Buhari of 100 per cent support as the state was now an “APC stronghold.’’
Audu said should Buhari wish to stay in office beyond 2019, the state would spearhead his campaigns.

Buhari should start with trimming the massive salaries of our useless politicians and their obscene pensions, something even Dubai royalty can only hope for.
Exactly!
BUHARI Is All About FRAUD.
Everything about Muhammadu Buhari has been all proven to be fraud and deceit.
**Fake declaration of Assets [150 cows for 12years].
**Inaccurate Affidavit and lying under oath.
**Lying that the Military board have his certificate.
**Forging a School certificate.
**Lying and claiming to have a Masters degree from US War college in 1980. The College started issuing Masters degree in 2000.
**using about 6.1Million under-age voters for election victory.
**Buhari improved on the level of Election rigging, via ballot snatching, mass Thumb printing Ballot papers, falsifying the data on Election results sheets.
**His supporter that claimed trekking from Lagos to Abuja revealed to be a cheat.

@burning spear. March 28 is over. Buhari is elected president. Jonathan had conceded defeat. Come out of the creek and lets start nation-building.
GENERAL BUHARI, POLITICIANS HAVE MADE NO SACRIFICES, THEY HAVE ONLY LOOTED THE NATIONAL TREASURY SO FAR. THIS IS THE MAIN REASON WHY THESE UNEMPLOYED POLITICIANS ARE IN POLITICS IN THE FIRST INSTANCE.
PLEASE DO NOT PRETEND OR BE NAIVE, JUST LIVE IN REALITY AND MAKE PUBLIC STATEMENTS ACCORDINGLY. AS YOU KNOW, MOST POLITICIANS ARE FIRST CLASS CROOKS AND THIEVES STEALING BILLIONS FROM THE NATIONAL TREASURY EVERY DAY. . WE HOPE THIS WILL STOP UNDER YOUR LEADERSHIP AND CORRUPT POLITICIANS LIKE TINUBU AND ATIKU WILL NOT OVERSHADOW YOU IN SEEKING HONEY-POT POLITICAL POSITIONS. GENERAL BUHARI, YOU HAVE BEEN ALERTED IN TIME.
16 years under PDP and you mindset is so clouded. Relax and smell the coffee.
Example, pretenders like Adams oshmole, Rochas okorocha, rotimi amechi and several others around you.
Gen. Buhari wants politicians to make sacrifices. For Who? Believe me so far this man is living in a make belief wall, very soon & it’s a matter of days, he will be welcomed to the REAL world. Laugh don kill me here.
Abubakar Audu cannot claim Kogi State to be an APC stronghold as the party did not win a single seat into the state house of Assembly.
as far as presidential election is concern kogi state is APC whether you like it or not
You are talking to the wrong people.
Please start by sacrificing Buruji Kashamu to the FBI and jail Wike and Fayose for massive elections frauds and beating of high court judges.
We will review and take appropriate action.
