Former President Muhammadu Buhari has said that since he left office, he has been sustaining himself with the rent money he collects from two of his properties in Kaduna State.
Buhari said this at the Presidential Banquet Hall in Katsina State’s Government House, while highlighting the importance of transparency and accountability in public office.
“After my eight years as a civil president, I have only three houses; one in Daura and two in Kaduna. I have given one out for rent, where I get money for feeding,” he stated.
Buhari also revealed his commitment to integrity and accountability, adding that he “refrained from enriching myself illicitly during my presidency.”
Revealing that governing Nigeria is not as easy as it seems, he said, “Nigeria is a difficult country to govern, but most Nigerians are unaware. You will not understand the complexities of leadership and the country itself until you find yourself in the administrative position of the country.”
He, however, revealed that he’s now in better health and feels more relaxed since leaving office.
“I look much better and healthier now than when I was the president of the country. Anybody who sees me now acknowledges that I look better than before,” he said.
