President Muhammadu Buhari, on Friday said that some things he saw when he took charge as Nigeria\u2019s President were unbelievable.
\nThe president was quoted as making this comment by his media aide, Femi Adesina when he received the Governance Support Group at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Friday.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cSome of the things I saw here were unbelievable. I still shudder and wonder how a country can survive under such abuses. \u201cIt is only by an act of God that we survived.
\n\u201cI want you to maintain your steadfastness. We have gone through the worst of the times. We lost elections three times and I learnt a lot along the way.\u2019
\nBuhari told his supporters that he was aware of the personal risks and investments that brought in the All Progressives Congress-led administration.
\nThe President stressed that the long-suffering, commitment and sacrifices of all his supporters over the years will be remembered by posterity.<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cI can never forget your sacrifices and I am grateful for all. You never gave up when things were bleak, and we needed to survive. I can\u2019t express my gratitude enough.
\n\u201cIn spite of the environment you found yourself, you kept believing and pushing. Some of you were really exposed to risks. My consolation is that you voluntarily threw in your lot with me.
\n\u201cSome of you exposed yourself so much, and I knew it. I urge you to still stick to your principled ways of doing things and our country will be the better for it,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
