Former President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, says he makes money for feeding himself from the rent being paid on one of his houses.
Buhari said he didn’t corrupt himself or enrich himself with public funds during his time in office.
Naija News reports the former President made the assertion while addressing the All Progressives Congress (APC) caucus meeting held at the Presidential Banquet Hall of the Government House, Katsina State, on Saturday.
According to him, it is important for political and public officeholders to be accountable and transparent.
“After my eight years as a civil president, I have only three houses; one in Daura and two in Kaduna. I have given one out for renting where I get money for feeding,” he stated.
Earlier, this platform also reported that Buhari, while speaking at the same event, described Nigeria as a challenging country to govern, citing the complexities of its issues and the burden of leadership.
Reflecting on his time in office, Buhari said his administration faced immense challenges despite efforts to address the nation’s issues.
“Those outside the corridors of power do not understand the complexities and difficulties facing Nigeria,” the former president stated.
Buhari, who handed over to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in May 2023, noted that his health has significantly improved since leaving office.
“My health has improved since leaving office. People who visited me told me I look better than before,” he revealed.
