The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), on Sunday, said he has only one house in Daura to retire to after his tenure elapses in May 2023.
“I haven’t built an extra house in Daura. Those who know me know that I have one house and that is where I will retire to,” Buhari said when he hosted a large delegation of the Abuja community led by the FCT minister, Mohammed Bello, at the State House, Abuja.
The President said after leaving office, he will retire to his hometown of Daura, Katsina State, far away from the epicentre of the 2023 political activities.
In his address earlier, the FCT minister thanked the President for opening his doors to his neighbours for one last time.
On May 29, history will be made as President Muhammadu Buhari hands over the baton of Nigeria’s leadership to Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu and retires to his place of birth, Daura, Katsina State, after serving the country for eight years.
Sunday Vanguard took a trip to the President’s home town to see first-hand the level of preparations and how his kinsmen plan to receive him.
Unlike the late Alhaji Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, also from Katsina State, who died in office during his first tenure as President, Buhari would have successfully served Nigeria for eight years despite coming on board with health challenges that, at a point, led many to believe he had died and buried.
