President Muhammadu Buhari has said he is “eager” to finish his tenure and hand over to his successor.
The president said this on Monday, while receiving some governors of the All Progressives Congress (APC), legislators and political leaders at his residence in Daura, Katsina State.
The President who had travelled to Daura on Friday ahead of the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations, said governance has been tough and he can not wait to retire to his hometown in Katsina.
“By this time next year, I would have made the most out of the two terms, and the remaining months I will do my best,” he said.
The President told the governors and political leaders that he had not been to his house in Daura for close to a year due to the demands of office.
“I wish the person who is coming after me the very best,” he said.
“I am eager to go. I can tell you it has been tough. I am grateful to God that people appreciate the personal sacrifices we have been making,” he added.
