According to the Nigerian leaders, several people take to crime due to diverse reasons including promotion of some 鈥渄iscredited鈥� ideologies.

鈥樷�榃e cannot allow ourselves to be distracted from this objective, or waver in our commitment, and I am confident that together we will triumph in our present efforts.鈥欌��

In eliciting the much needed support of the Federal lawmakers, Buhari, who described the National Assembly as 鈥樷�榝ull partners in national development,鈥� commended them for building and maintaining a seamless relationship with his administration.

Mr. Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, in a statement issued in Abuja, quoted Buhari saying that 鈥樷�榯he obligation to check and balance each other is not an invitation to conflict, and it should not be characterised by quarrelsome disagreement when consultation, engagements and compromise have proven time and again to be a more effective approach.鈥�

He stated: 鈥樷�業n the 9th Assembly, you have distinguished yourselves by your conduct in office, by the scale and quality of your legislative interventions, and by your capacity for engaging with the difficult questions facing the country with maturity and competence.鈥�

Buhari also lauded the legislators for the passage of some bills, including the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB).

According to him, they 鈥渟ucceeded in overcoming the political and other obstacles that have, for two decades, inhibited the much-needed reforms of our Oil and Gas industry, resulting now in the passage of the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB).鈥�

Though he admitted that the present administration came into power when the country was facing several issues across board, he assured Nigerians that resolving these challenges requires hard work from the government.

He emphasised this is the only way to reposition the country for the good of all.

Buhari added: 鈥樷�楾his moment in history requires us to make hard choices, take difficult decisions and act with diligence and patriotism to ensure that our country can survive and thrive long after we have all left.

鈥樷�榃hat this means in effect is that our jobs will not get any easier.

鈥淗owever, the objectives we seek and will work together to achieve deserve our best efforts regardless of the sacrifice.鈥�
