I’m Counting The Days Till I Hand Over To Tinubu – Buhari

Nigeria’s president, Muhammadu Buhari has come out to describe himself as a lucky and fulfilled politician.

This is coming having served as military governor of Borno State in 1976, Minister of Petroleum Resources in the same year and one-time Head of State (1983 – 1985).

According to him, he can only thank citizens for tolerating his eight-year regime, and he is sorry to Nigerians who were hurt by the policies under his tenure.

Buhari added that he is counting the days remaining before he hands over to Tinubu, and democracy is surely a good feeling.

His words, “Those that think that I have hurt them so much, please pardon me.”

“I think this is a very good coincidence for me to say goodbye to you and thank you for tolerating me for more than seven and a half years.”

“I honestly consider myself very lucky; I was made a governor, minister of petroleum, head of state in uniform, then after three attempts, God, through technology and PVC, I became president. I think God has given me an incredible opportunity to serve as your president. And I thank God for that.”

“So, please, whoever feels I have done wrong to them, we are all humans. There is no doubt I hurt some people and I wish you will pardon me. And those that think that I have hurt them so much, please pardon me.”

“I am counting the days. Democracy is a good thing; otherwise, how can somebody from the other side be a president for two terms? From my home town to the Niger Republic is eight kilometers.”

“I assure you, I have deliberately arranged to be as far away from you as possible, not because I don’t appreciate the love you’ve shown to me, but because I think I’ve gotten what I have asked and I would rather quietly retire to my hometown (Daura, Katsina).”
