The President-elect General Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday, stated the mission of his presidency at the induction of the new lawmakers in Abuja.
Buhari said that he needed the support of the distinguished members of the 8th National Assembly to battle the development challenges facing Nigeria.
He stated that the mission of his presidency would be to tackle the following challenges which are general insecurity, devastation and environmental degradation in the Niger Delta area, decline in revenues due to fall in oil prices, endemic corruption, unacceptably poor provision of power supply, high levels of unemployment, high cost of governance amongst many other.
The statement read thus
ADDRESS BY PRESIDENT-ELECT, GENERAL MUHAMMADU BUHARI, (GCFR) AT THE OCCASION OF THE INDUCTION OF NEW LEGISLATORS OF THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY ORGANIZED BY THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR LEGISLATIVE STUDIES HOLDING IN ABUJA ON WEDNESDAY, APRIL 29TH, 2015.
PROTOCOL:
I am very pleased to be here today as part of this induction programme and to address the elected Members of the 8th National Assembly. I heartily congratulate all of you for being found worthy to be elected by Nigeria’s citizens in a fair and transparent election process.
I am delighted to say that we stand on the threshold of history. For the first time in our post independence history, power is going to be transferred from an incumbent ruling party to an opposition party
Buhari

This is inspite of predictions of calamitous outcomes.
Nigerians have indeed proven once again that they are a united people and stand resolute to protect its growing democracy.
I wish to specifically acknowledge and laud the maturity exhibited by the political class, the professionalism of our security agencies, the competence and resilience of INEC, but above all the doggedness of Nigerians and their commitment to ensuring that their wishes are represented and respected.
I daresay, it is equally a victory for all political parties and their leaderships for according due respect to the electoral process and accepting the results in most cases. I wish to specifically acknowledge the role played by the President, H.E Goodluck Ebele Jonathan for accepting the results of the election before final announcement was made.

The legislature is a critical component and necessary ingredient of democracy and good governance. The legislature by nature is inherently democratic in the sense that all members are equal and are elected representatives of the Nigerian people.
