Governance in Abuja.
He urged Nigerians to keep faith with the
administration’s commitment to take “Nigeria
to the Promised Land.”
Adesina said: “I am glad that majority of
Nigerians are still with President Buhari.
“The excitement and jubilation, around the
country, that greeted his return to Nigeria
recently is a clear testimony of the love,
confidence and belief, which Nigerians have in
his leadership.
“We are witnessing a positive turn around in
the economy, agriculture, the fight against
corruption, job creation and I am very confident
that President Buhari will lead Nigeria to the
Promised Land before the mandate given to
him by Nigerians elapses in 2019,’’ Adesina
said.
The Special Adviser, who received the Sardauna

leader, adding ‘‘you are a Goldfish that has no
hiding place.’’
“We northern youths, under the aegis of
Northern Youth Initiative for Peace and Good
Governance, honour you as Garkuwan Matasan
Arewa (the shield of Northern Youths) for your
invaluable contribution to the country and
inspiring role to the upcoming generation,” he
said.
