Buhari: Nigeria's Difficult to Govern...Says His Health Improved On Leaving Office; Didn't Corrupt Himself In Office, Lives On House Rent

Former President Muhammadu Buhari has described Nigeria as a difficult country to govern due to its complexities. Speaking in Katsina State, Buhari emphasized that most Nigerians are unaware of the administrative challenges involved in governing the country.
Buhari, who served as Nigeria's president from 2015 to 2023, stressed the importance of transparency and accountability in leadership. He noted that many Nigerians blame their leaders without understanding the complexities of governance. "Nigeria is a difficult country to govern, but most Nigerians are unaware. Until you find yourself in the administrative position of the country, if not, you will not understand the complexities," he said.
Buhari also shared details about his personal life, revealing that he now lives on money earned from renting out one of his two houses in Kaduna State. He emphasized that he did not corruptly enrich himself as president, owning only three houses: one in Daura and two in Kaduna.
In his remarks, Katsina State Governor Dikko Radda urged APC stakeholders to mobilize electoral support across the state in preparation for the forthcoming local government election. Radda stressed the importance of achieving victory through popular votes while ensuring transparent electoral processes.
Buhari further revealed that his health has taken a turn for the better since leaving office. According to him, the challenges of governing Nigeria took a toll on his well-being, but now that he's no longer shouldering that burden, he's feeling improved.
The former President emphasized that governing Nigeria is no easy feat, citing the complexities and difficulties that come with the job. On a more personal note, Buhari mentioned that visitors have commented on his improved appearance, telling him he looks better than before. This update on his health comes after he handed over the reins to President Bola Tinubu on May 29, 2023.
Interestingly, during his presidency, Buhari's administration had planned to establish a new federal medical centre in Daura, Katsina State, with a budget of N500 million .
