President elect, General Muhammadu Buhari has appealed to Nigerians not to expect instant miracle from his government to fix all the problems facing the country, but to be patient and supportive, saying that he would need enough time to address the Boko Haram insecurity in the North-East and other challenges confronting the nation.

General Buhari who made this appeal in Kaduna on Saturday when he received a delegation of the All Progressive Congress (APC) members from Bauchi State led by the Governor-elect, Mohammed Abubakar said that the change, which Nigerians expect from his incoming administration would not be realised overnight.

He hinged his reason on the fact that governing Nigeria would be difficult for him because of the magnitude of the problems on ground.

Buhari further explained that Nigeria had witnessed what he termed colossal rape of its economy and leadership deficit.

He, however, assured that his government would do its best to fix things in the right perspective and, therefore, appealed for support of all Nigerians to his administration.

Buhari, thanked the people of Bauchi and Nigerians for voting massively for APC and urged them to be vigilante and protect themselves from being attacked by insurgents.

The Governor-elect and other elected state and National Assembly members described Buhari as somebody who is genuinely interested in the peace and progress of the country. They expressed hope that Nigeria will be better under his leadership.

He also disclosed that he would not waste government resources to probe the outgoing administration in the state, but he would seek better ways of ensuring that all stolen money were recovered for the development of the state.
