President elect, Muhmmadu Buhari, has said that Nigerians should not expect him to tackle all their problems with a mere wave of the hands like a miracle worker.
Buhari, in an interview with the BBC asked Nigerians not to expect him to perform miracles once he assumes power come May 29
Buhari, who spoke specifically on the protracted Boko Haram insurgency, said the triumph against the sect members would not be immediately achieved once he gets into power.
He however believes that with cooperation from neighboring countries and the commitment of the military, the war would be won in a short time
“For five, six years, the Nigerian enforcement law agencies, including the military, couldn’t secure 14 Local Governments. How can I promise miracles when I come? But with the cooperation of our neighbours Cameroon, Chad, Niger and the international community, and the commitment we are going to get from the military, I think it will take us a much shorter time to deal with it”, he said.
