Former President Muhammadu Buhari has revealed that he relies on the rental income from one of his houses in Kaduna State to cater for his needs.
According to Buhari, Nigeria’s complexities make it a challenging country to govern, and many citizens are not aware of the administrative hurdles leaders face.
“Nigeria is a difficult country to govern, but most Nigerians are unaware. You will not understand the complexities of leadership and the country itself until you find yourself in the administrative position of the country,” he said.
Buhari, who spoke in Hausa at the All Progressives Congress (APC) caucus meeting in Katsina State, noted that he has only three houses – one in Daura and two in Kaduna – and has rented out one of them to earn a living.
“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.
The former president also expressed his improved health and well-being since leaving office, saying “I look much better and healthier now than when I was the president of the country. Anybody that sees me now acknowledges that I look better than before.”
