Former President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, has claimed that his physical assets have not increased since he left Aso Rock.
Buhari has advised the members of the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF) to accord importance to the welfare of the people, not themselves.
He offered the governors “his personal example of leaving office with the same physical assets he had before his presidency.”
According to a statement on Wednesday by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, Buhari gave the advice when governors elected on the All Progressives Congress platform paid him a visit at his Kaduna home on Monday.
The statement quoted Buhari as calling for a citizen-centric approach, saying leadership presents both challenges and opportunities that, when balanced, would ensure national progress.
“The former president expressed confidence in the progress made by the governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress and reiterated his call for continued dedication to the nation’s progress.
“He also said leaders should accord importance to the welfare of the people, not themselves, offering his personal example of leaving office with the same physical assets he had before his presidency,” the statement read in part.
Buhari thanked the Tinubu administration for renovating his home in Kaduna, explaining that while the building looked very much the same externally, so much improvement was made inside.
