President Muhammadu Buhari, on Tuesday, said his administration has done “extremely well” considering the limited resources available to it.
Gatekeepers News reports that President said this during a stakeholders’ meeting at the Imo State Government House in Owerri, the state capital, after inaugurating the Owerri-Orlu Road, phase one of the Owerri-Okigwe Road, and the state House of Assembly complex rebuilt by the administration of the State Governor, Hope Uzodimma.
The President said his administration was able to achieve much despite the scarce resources at his disposal.
Buhari said, “This administration has done extremely well. I had to say it because those who are supposed to say it are not doing so. I don’t know why.
He applauded his administration for dislodging Boko Haram terrorists in the North East and tackling infrastructural decay which he said he inherited from the Peoples Democratic Party’s administration in 2015.
The President commended Uzodinma for inviting him for the second time in a year to inaugurate projects executed by his administration.
Buhari vowed to continue to support all states irrespective of political affiliations, to deliver infrastructure assets.
He added that the Federal Government will continue to support the government of Imo State to ensure that it continues to provide the dividends of democracy to the people.
According to him, “This support is equally available to all the states of the federation irrespective of the differences in political party affiliations.”
While complimenting the Imo State Governor for prioritising construction and institutional reforms in the past three years, Buhari said his administration will leave a legacy of major development projects across the country.
The President while commending Uzodinma for his efforts in developing the state said, “You have written your history.”
In his address, Uzodinma said the roads Buhari inaugurated were abandoned by previous administrations for over decades.
The Governor who said that his administration had constructed 105 roads in less than three years of his administration, noted that this will boost the economy of the state.
