Buhari made the statement on Thursday, March 24, 2016, during a meeting with leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja.
“I
know you are being harassed since the election that they haven’t seen
anything on the ground. Well, if you have any explanation that could be
accepted, (it) is that you have three more years to go,” Buhari said.
“For
globetrotting, sometimes, you need to present your case on personal
basis to your economic colleagues and neighbours. Nothing is better than
personal touch and I believe that we are learning a lot and eventually,
the nation will realize so,” the president added in justification of
his frequent trips abroad," he added.
He also encouraged members of the APC to take the criticisms being thrown at them in good faith.
“I
don’t envy you on the harassment you are going through from your
constituencies. Take it with a lot of determination and we will be all
right, God willing,” Buhari said.
Buhari was earlier reported to have assured members of the APC that he would soon give them many appointments as compensation for their troubles.
