President Muhammadu Buhari appreciated members of his cabinet and State House Staff during his valedictory Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting on Wednesday.
The president appreciated them for their loyalty and support throughout his first and second terms in office.
The President's eight-year reign is expected to end on May 29 as President-elect Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu takes over.
President Buhari further appealed for support to the incoming president Tinubu.
This was contained in a statement by Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to the president on Media and Publicity.
“I am proud to say we gave our best,’’ Adesina quoted the president.
He added that the president further directed his Ministers to "tidy up their work and avoid last-minute rush that could compromise the good deeds they had done over the years."
“In the cause of our years together, ranging from our newest addition to the oldest members of the team for the past seven and half years, we have differed on many issues.
"I urge that we understand that those positions were for the collective good, and no one should keep grievances, or carry these differences forward.
“For those of us that will not directly be in government, I know that I am one of such, I ask that we continue to provide our support, in whatever way we can, if called upon by our great party, All Progressives Congress (APC) that gave us the platform to stand and we must continue to support it in every way we can.
“I also thank God for the strength and for keeping us together.
“I look forward to a great many of you, disproving that Daura has not become too distant because I am no longer Mr President.
“I will also be happy to do the many things that I have not been able to since May 29th, 2015, one of such is my favorite pastime of taking care of my cattle.
“I wish all of us the best and hope to hear good news whenever any of our names are mentioned. Thank you and God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria,’’ the president added.
