“Nigeria will be impartially governed according to the rule of law (constitution). We shall defend the nation from terror and all forms of criminality that threatened the peace and stability of our country.

“We shall remodel our economy to bring our growth and develop the GDP or achieve it much better than we have, I assure you. We we do that through job creation, food security, and an end to extreme poverty.”

He said, “Permit me to say a few words to my predecessor, President Muhammadu Buhari. You have been a honest man and patriotic leader. Buhari has done his best for the nation.”
