***Says “can’t wait to go home”
By Harry Awurumibe, Editor, Abuja Bureau
In what looked like his valedictory statement, President Muhammadu Buhari has again said that he can’t wait to go home after eight years of being in the saddle of governing the country.
The President said this at the 9th Sallah homage which he hosted at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Friday morning when the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Muhammad Musa Bello led the residents of Abuja to the State House.
Buhari, who described himself as being lucky, to have led Nigeria in various capacity as Governor, Minister, Head of State and President, thanked the residents of Abuja for tolerating him in the last seven and half years.
Said he: “I can’t wait to go home…I deliberately arranged to be as far away as possible from you people. I have got what I have asked and will quietly retire to my home town in Daura.”
