To Avoid Problems, I Will Stay Away From Abuja Once I Handover- Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari has disclosed his intention to stay as far away as possible from Abuja, the nation’s capital city, when he leaves office on May 29, 2023.

In an address on Sunday while hosting the federal capital territory (FCT) residents on Christmas homage, the president said he made the decision to stay away to avoid problems.

The visit was led by Mohammed Bello, minister of the FCT.

Reiterating his plans, the president said he intends to retire to his hometown in Daura, Katsina state.

“Thank you very much for taking the time to come and visit me and I congratulate you on this great day (Christmas),” Buhari said.

“I have promised a lot of my colleagues that I will try and be as far away as possible from Abuja when I leave office so that nobody can create any problem for me anymore.

“I will be in Daura, which is on the border with the Niger Republic, and I think in spite of technology, I will be safe enough there.”

He further extended his appreciation to Nigerians for trusting, supporting, and allowing him to serve as their leader.
