“These positive developments underscore the renewed hope agenda of your administration. Your Excellency, this was the toughest two years of your four plus four years journey leading our nation! The right foundation has been laid; it’s time for the fruits to blossom.
“Forward forever, Nigeria will experience a rebirth, under your dynamic and visionary leader, A Lion is never distracted by the bleats of goats”.
