President Mohammadu Buhari Signs N21.8tn 2023 Budget: What It Means for Nigerians
In a recent meeting in Katsina State, former President Muhammad Buhari shared a glimpse into his life after serving Nigeria for eight years. The 80-year-old former leader, who handed over power to President Bola Tinubu on May 29, 2023, revealed that he relies on rental income from one of his houses in Kaduna State to support himself financially.
A Modest Life
Buhari, who spoke in Hausa, mentioned that he owns just three houses: one in his hometown of Daura and two in Kaduna State. He’s rented out one of the Kaduna houses, which provides him with enough money to cover his living expenses. This modest lifestyle is a far cry from the opulence often associated with former heads of state.
Reflections on Leadership
The former president also reflected on the challenges of leading Nigeria, stating that it’s a difficult country to govern, and many Nigerians don’t understand its complexities. Despite the demands of the presidency, Buhari expressed pride in having served without corruption during his time in office.
A Life of Service
Buhari’s commitment to public service is evident in his actions. Since leaving office, he has continued to contribute to national development through various initiatives. His dedication to the country’s progress is a testament to his character and leadership.
Post-Presidency Life
Since handing over power, Buhari says he’s feeling much better, both physically and mentally. He even joked that he looks healthier now than when he was president! The former leader’s relaxed demeanor is a stark contrast to the pressures he faced while in office.
Former President Muhammad Buhari’s life after office is a testament to his humility and commitment to public service. His reliance on rental income and modest lifestyle serve as a reminder that true leadership is not about personal gain, but about serving the greater good. As Nigerians continue to navigate the complexities of governance, Buhari’s legacy serves as a beacon of hope for a better future.
