Buhari asks Nigerians to reduce expectations from govt, rallies support for Tinubu on second anniversary

Former President Muhammadu Buhari has asked Nigerians to reduce the burden of their expectations on government.

According to the Former Military Head of the State, citizens’ expectations from the government should not be heavy.

Buhari, who gave the advice while hailing his successor, President Bola Tinubu, as he marks his second anniversary on May 29, 2025, appealed to Nigerians to remain optimistic about the future.

The former president explain that instead of Nigerians placing huge expectations or burden on government, Nigerians should support the Tinubu-led All Progressives Congress government.

He added that the reforms embarked upon by Tinubu's administration would achieve success gradually and not overnight.

Buhari, however, warned that necessary reforms and desired changes must not fall victim to politics.

The Former leader expressed support for the ongoing efforts by the Tinubu administration to rein in poverty and inflation, which according to him, have hit the poorest families the hardest.

He said the task of reducing poverty and inflation must not be left only for the government.

“The private sector and all of us as citizens must join in all ways we can.

“Our expectations from our governments should not get heavy.

“I am wishing President Tinubu heartfelt congratulations on his two years in office. May you keep leading with wisdom and care,” Buhari said
