Former President Muhammadu Buhari has stated that he left office with the same physical assets he had when he assumed the presidency on May 29, 2015.
In a statement on Wednesday, Buhari’s media aide, Garba Shehu, revealed that the former president made the remark during a meeting with members of the Progressive Governors’ Forum (PGF) at his residence in Kaduna.
According to Shehu, Buhari advised the members of the Progressive Governors Forum to adopt a citizen-centric approach, saying that “leadership presents both a challenge and opportunity, and that balancing the two would
significantly advance national progress.”
He added that the former president expressed confidence in the progress being made by the governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and reiterated his call for continued dedication to the nation’s progress.
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.
He thanked the governors for the visit, saying that while he had worked with several of them, some others were new to him.
The Chairman of the PGF, Imo state Governor Hope Uzodinma said that their visit was to greet the former president on the occasion of the Eid-el-Fitr, and “convey our heart-felt expression of gratitude and enduring respect for your immense contributions to Nigeria’s democracy and strengthening our party.
“Many of us recall with pride the principled role you played in the founding of the APC. That legacy continues to shape our party’s identity direction.
