I feed from rent paid for one of my houses in Kaduna since leaving office – Ex-President Buhari
Ex-President Muhammadu Buhari has revealed that he earns money to feed and take care of himself from rent paid for one of his houses in Kaduna.
Buhai who hails from Daura in Katsina State in North West Nigeria lives in Kaduna.
Speaking at a political meeting on Saturday, January 26, in Katsina, he boasted that he is one of the honest Nigerians in office as President.
He pointed out how complex it is to be president of Nigria, and explained how he keeps himself financially stable.
Buhari revealed while speaking in the Hausa language, that he owns three houses: one in his hometown of Daura, and two in Kaduna State.
“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,” Buhari explained.
He believes many Nigerians don’t understand how complicated it is to lead such a diverse country. In his words: “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.”
The former president said, he feels and looks much better out of office than when he was president which has been attested by people who saw him now.
“Anybody that sees me now acknowledges that I look better than before,” he said, sounding relieved”, stressing that no one could accuse him of taking money illegally while in and out of office.
Buhari participated in a political meeting which took place preparatory to the upcoming Local Government Council election in the State.
