He has said that he will give the next administration a strong agriculture-based, diversified, home-grown economy, a stable democracy, and a revamped armed and security forces.
Even though military takeovers are set to happen in Mali, Guinea, and Burkina Faso in August 2020, September 2020, and January 2022, he says that "Nigeria has passed through that stage for good."
Because of this, he has told politicians who want to run for office in the 2023 election that "there is nothing better than experience in leadership."
As part of the 2022 Committee of Business and Political Leaders Dinner at the Presidential Villa Abuja in Abuja on Monday night, Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari talked about his plans for the country and the world.
It says that President Muhammadu Buhari said that he wanted to finish his term in 2023 and leave a legacy of a united, peaceful, and prosperous Nigeria with 24 years of uninterrupted democracy.
When he said that he was nearing the end of his term in office, he said: "I am gradually entering the last year of my term." The next seven years will be a time for me to not only build on the progress made in the last seven years, but also to leave a lasting legacy for a united, peaceful, and prosperous Nigeria. This is what I want to do.
"I take this as a sign that you all want to work with this administration in that direction."
"For those of you who are politicians, you need to think about how you can use your power to help society change." To the people who work for money, there is a lot of glory in public service.
It is important to always ask: "How can we use our business assets for the good of the country?"
This is a good thing because the Nigerian elite is realising that the job of changing this society is one that we all have to do, whether we work in the private or public sector. Knowing that, we face a lot of big problems as a country, but if we try a new way, we can get through them.
There is no way for us to stay in our own ethnic cocoons, and we can't keep looking for comfort in our past. A Nigeria that every person in it would feel proud to call their own should be a goal we should fight for. For that is your task.
Nigeria's elites are now aware that they need to work with the political class and civil society to build a better country, President Muhammadu Buhari said. He said that building consensus on important issues like the economy, security, governance, and so on is the best way to get there.
Because some of us don't always show that we can put our own interests and political partisanship aside when the situation calls for us to speak or act together in the best interest of our country. As we all know, I have been very critical of the Nigerian elites."
There are also a lot of people in our upper class who are only interested in making money from everything they do.
It's good to know that a more collaborative model for solving our problems as a group is being developed.
Thank you for this project and the people who organised it. The kind of spirit I have always pushed for is what we need right now, as we build our society for peace and security and prosperity through dialogue while narrowing the gap between the rich and poor.
He said he knew that people from all walks of life came to the Committee's first meeting on Sunday, including people from the public, private, and civil sectors, as well as young people.
The President praised the group for ignoring their differences of ethnicity and religion and working together for the good of the whole. He called the feat "fantastic."
During their next meeting, the President told them to try to fit in a few more people's ideas as they "dive deeper into our national challenges and come up with workable and long-term solutions for the near, medium, and long term." He said he wished the group had met earlier.
To finish strong in the next 16 months, we want everyone to be ready for the last lap. We are doubling down on our fight against all forms of insecurity. We are bolstering our armed forces and police, and we are getting better equipment.
"We are going to keep fighting against corruption and poverty, and we are going to build an all-inclusive economy for everyone."
Even though the President took office seven years ago, he told his guests that this administration has kept its promises to the people and has done well even though resources have been cut back for reasons that are out of our control.
It would have been better if most of you who are here today had agreed with us. Even though the government changes, the country needs to stay and grow.
It was a good time for President Muhammadu Buhari to wish politicians who want to run for office in 2023 the best, and he told them that "there is no better way to lead than having experience."
Ekiti State Governor Kayode Fayemi raised the issue of military takeovers in Mali and Guinea in August 2020 and September 2020 and January 2022. Buhari said he thinks "Nigeria has passed through that stage for good."
People in some West African countries are having a lot of problems with the government.
People in our region believe that Nigeria has a duty to keep democracy safe not just in Nigeria, but also in our region as well. But in order to do that, we must make sure that our politicians follow the rules of the law. I'm happy that our President's stance on third-term leaders is well-known."
Governor Fayemi gave more information about the Committee's work. He said that Nigerians who have benefited from the country in a good way, and who have worked for the country in different ways, have a responsibility to help the country.
When he spoke, he said that what the Committee has tried to do is build an elite consensus on both security and the economy.
He said that the Committee would take advantage of the President's consistent leadership, unwavering passion, and patriotism to make sure there was a smooth transition and that the country's progress was kept up and continued for the good of the country.
The PDP and APC leaders are in this room. We want what we present to the President to be free of partisan colours when we are done with this work. A lot of it comes from people who want Nigerians to do well."
When Prince Nduka Obaigbena led the group and was CEO of THISDAY and ARISE, he said that Nigeria was going through a "historic transition like no other," and there were problems in Africa and at home. The group came together to "defend the national interest."
It was put together to protect Nigeria in a time of crisis and during a time of transition. "The 2022 Committee was put together to protect Nigeria in a time of crisis and during a time of transition," he said. Members of the group were chosen from the business community, investors, governors, security sector, and older people.
