Posted by After taking office on May 29, Nigeria’s outgoing president, Muhammadu Buhari, says he is looking forward to retiring to Daura, Katsina State.
The president revealed this to the departing British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Catriona Wendy Laing, on Wednesday at the State House in Abuja, according to a statement by his spokesperson, Femi Adesina.
The president remarked:.
“I’ll be as far from Abuja as I can be. “.
Buhari claimed that many Nigerians considered the UK to be a second home, and that relations between the two nations would continue to improve. He praised the UK for its cooperation on many fronts, particularly in the reconstruction of the North East, which had been previously devastated by insurgency.
Buhari continued, “In fact, some wealthy Nigerians don’t feel complete until they’ve had a home in the UK.
Earlier, Laing had stated that she was sad to be leaving because she is fascinated by Nigeria, particularly the music, dance, and culture, and she has had “a fabulous time here. “.
“I regret having to leave. I had a fantastic time here in Nigeria, and I will definitely return. I adore the culture, music, and dance.
“Experiencing Nigeria has been positive. I’ve visited more than 20 states, and I’ve instructed my successor to do the same. I’ll be back and continue to travel further, she said.
However, Laing praised Buhari for his successful eight years in office, saying he had done a great job of keeping the nation united.
