“Our future must be secured at all cost; that is the legacy I want to leave behind. I will continue to work towards improving on security and national integrity, and continued growth and development of our economy.

“Since 2015, this administration has implemented policies aimed at the three main issues—security, economy and fighting corruption.

“Those who know me know that I don’t make promises I cannot keep; but I assure you that young people will continue to be part of this administration even as we consolidate on the gains so far and more to come.’’

He said that with over a population of 70 per cent of youths making up Nigeria’s 180 million people, they were as important presently as they would be in future.

According to him, the voting population of young people is the determinant factor in any election that any politician cannot neglect.

“I will like to assure you and other young people who are not here that I remain committed to the cause of a better Nigeria for you and for every generation. I am still committed to the pledges I made to the country in 2015 and I stand before you today to renew those same pledges that I will continue the fight against corruption. I can assure you that no one, no matter who or what will make me compromise on fighting corruption. I will not shield anyone who is brazen enough to embezzle public funds or betray people’s trust. They will face the music in due course.”
