Former President Muhammadu Buhari has revealed how he supports himself and his family after leaving office in 2023.
Buhari stated that he depends on renting his house in Kaduna State to generate funds for food.
The former President disclosed this during the All Progressives Congress (APC) caucus meeting held at the Presidential Banquet Hall of the Government House, Katsina State.
Buhari proudly stated that he did not enrich himself through corruption while in power. He explained that many Nigerians are unaware of the challenges involved in governance, leading them to blame leaders without understanding the complexities of governing a challenging country like Nigeria.
"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.
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.
I refrained from enriching myself illicitly during my presidency,” he said.
He concluded by reaffirming his commitment to the principles of integrity and accountability.
