President of Nigeria Muhammadu Buhari has stated again that he plans to leave office on May 29, 2023, and move back to Daura, Katsina State.
On Friday, President Buhari spoke of his forty years of service to Nigeria in a variety of positions and his wish to retire to a tranquil location far from the bustle of urban life.
Buhari emphasized his desire for a tranquil slumber by saying that if he felt uncomfortable in Daura, he would head to his hometown’s bordering neighbor, the Niger Republic.
The President said that his journey had not been easy as he had been imprisoned for three years following the coup that removed him from power in August 1984 and had unsuccessfully run for office three times, in 2003, 2007, and 2011, before being welcomed by residents of the Federal Capital Territory led by Minister Muhammad Musa Bello.
He also described his previous roles as a military officer, military governor, minister, and Head of State before returning in 2015 as President who had been duly elected.
After years of labor, according to President Buhari, he chose to retire to Daura, which was far from Abuja, in order to obtain some rest.
“I can’t wait to go home to Daura. If they make any noise to disturb me in Daura, I will leave for the Niger Republic. I deliberately arranged to be as far away as possible. I got what I wanted and will quietly retire to my home town.
