Former President Muhammadu Buhari has said leadership of Nigeria was one of the hardest challenges in life.
Buhari asked Nigerians to rally behind President Bola Tinubu in his Eid-ul-Adha message to Nigerians, which was published by Mallam Garba Shehu.
Following the outcome of the presidential election on February 25, he handed over power to Tinubu on May 29, 2023.
“Leading a country like Nigeria is one of the hardest challenges in life and urged Nigerians to fully support the Tinubu Administration to succeed and that leadership is a challenging task that demands the sacrifices and support of the citizens.”
Just as reports said he and Tinubu met in London at the weekend, President Tinubu’s aides had posted a photo of Buhari and Tinubu in a handshake in London. Tinubu returned to Lagos yesterday. At press time, it was not disclosed what the two leaders discussed during their meeting in London. Also, it was not disclosed when Buhari travelled to London.
Buhari’s Eid-ul-Adha message came a day after he explained reason his principal failed to remove fuel subsidy before leaving office.
The former presidential aide had explained that it was to avoid the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) losing the presidential election as an announcement of removal of fuel subsidy could have sparked public rage.
