A week after saying that his second term in office  would be tough, Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari has toned down his language by saying that his next four years would rather be peaceful and prosperous.

 While hosting leaders of the organized labour at the State House, Abuja on Thursday, Buhari also claimed that his next tenure of four years would also be corruption free.

He said the next administration would remain focused on his campaign promises to fight corruption, grow the economy and fight insecurity. He expressed optimism that the organized labour in the country would assist in achieving the common goals of the Federal Government.

“By the grace of God, majority of Nigerians have given me another four years of continuity. We will remain focused on our promises, which remain security, economy and fighting corruption.

“I want to assure you that the next four years will be peaceful, prosperous and corruption free. I therefore look forward to receiving your proposals so that together, we can achieve these goals,” Buhari said.

Buhari also thanked the labour leaders for their support and cooperation towards the conduct of the presidential election, stressing their cooperation helped many to exercise their civic rights.
