Lalong through his Director of Press and Public Affairs, Dr Makut Macham, described the President as “a man of integrity and leader with patriotic zeal to develop the nation and secure the future for the younger generation”.
The NGF said, “President Buhari has in the last six years confronted very many challenging situations that sought to threaten the unity and peace of the country such as insecurity, poverty, corruption, poor infrastructure among others, with high successes.
“The President has remained a father to all by embracing all parts of the nation and ensuring that projects are distributed to all zones irrespective of political and other considerations, a situation which speaks volumes of his penchant for justice and fairness.”
According to him, “The Northern Governors Forum has enjoyed the support of Mr. President in dealing with challenges such as insecurity, poverty, illiteracy and disease which are being substantially contained due to the synergy between the States and the Federal Government.”
While wishing the President many more years of good health and wisdom, the Northern Governors urged him to remain steadfast and committed to giving his best in the service of the nation, especially at this time when the Government was working hard to deal with several challenges.
