He said this was contrary to the belief of the opposition, who doubted his medical fitness .
Buhari , therefore , thanked God for giving him the strength and health to prove his critics wrong .
“ I tried to visit the 36 states and Abuja, firstly , to prove to the other side that I’ m fit . I tried to cover two states per day and secondly , not to make anybody feel that any state had been left out .
“ So, I thank God that He gave me the strength and health to see through my plan and I think it is appreciated , ’’ he said .
According to the president, the new four-year mandate given to his administration by Nigerians will be tough as he pursues his campaign promises of securing the country, transforming the economy and the fight against corruption .
