Muhammadu Buhari in the 2015 presidential election.
Speaking on Tuesday, October 27, at Gumburawa village in

last presidential election due to my conviction that he has the Nigerian
project topmost in his mind.”

two years under President Buhari as the change agenda would have started to
show.
He advised the president to ignore unnecessary distractions
but heed constructive criticisms.Showing support for Buhari’s anti-corruption
fight, Gumburawa said proactive measures should be taken to bring back all the
country’s stolen funds stashed away in other countries.
The PDP chieftain urged the National Assembly to support the
federal government’s change agenda by making relevant laws that would bring
about rejuvenation of the nation.
The former lawmaker also called on Nigerians to patient with
the president as he needed time to fully correct the wrongs of the past.
On the issue of insecurity, Gumburawa said: “More efforts
should be made to provide the needed arms and ammunition, transportation,
incentives and other logistics to the various security agencies in the country,
to enable them discharge their mandate effectively.”
Buhari won Nigeria’s
presidential election by 2.57 million votes, according to official results
announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission, defeating Goodluck
