President Muhammadu Buhari has said that his seven-year rule “has been tough”, and he is “eager to go” in 2023.
ANN reports that Buhari said this on Monday while receiving some governors of the All Progressives Congress (APC), legislators and some top party stakeholders at his residence in Daura, Katsina State.
Nine APC governors visited Buhari to endorse the Bola Tinubu-Kashim Shettima APC ticket.
“I wish the person who is coming after me the very best,” Buhari told the governors.
“I am eager to go. I can tell you it has been tough. I am grateful to God that people appreciate the personal sacrifices we have been making,” he added.
The governors were led by the chairman of the Progressives Governor’s Forum, Abubakar Bagudu of Kebbi state, along with the host governor, Aminu Masari.
The rest are Governor Abdullahi Ganduje (Kano); Governor Abubakar Bello (Niger); Governor Abdullahi Sule (Nasarawa); Governor Hope Uzodinma (lmo); Governor Kayode Fayemi (Ekiti); Governor Simon Lalong (Plateau) and Governor Nasir El-Rufai (Kaduna).
