President Muhammadu Buhari has said he hopes Nigeria will be secure, prosperous and confident by the time he leaves office in 2023.

He made the remark in a 30-minute interview with the Nigerian Television Authority, which aired on Friday.

He added that the success of his administration will depend on the survival of his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), after 2023.

On Security, the President argued that his administration is committed to securing the country from all forms of violence, including banditry and terrorism.

He said it was unfair to conclude that the police and military action currently ongoing in the South-East was a result of his dislike of the region.
