Former President Muhammadu Buhari has revealed that he now relies on income from renting out one of his houses in Kaduna to cover his living expenses.
Buhari made this statement during the All Progressives Congress (APC) caucus meeting held at the Presidential Banquet Hall in Katsina State.
He emphasized that he did not engage in corrupt practices during his tenure as president. Addressing the challenges of leadership, Buhari noted that many Nigerians fail to grasp the complexities of governing a country like Nigeria and often criticize the government without understanding its difficulties.
“Nigeria is a challenging country to govern, but most citizens are unaware of the intricacies involved. You can only truly understand the country’s complexities when you’re in a leadership position,” he stated.
Buhari disclosed that after completing his eight years in office, he owns only three houses—one in Daura and two in Kaduna. “I have rented out one of the Kaduna houses to earn money for feeding,” he said.
Reaffirming his stance against corruption, Buhari reiterated that he maintained integrity during his presidency and avoided illicit enrichment. “No one can accuse me of corruptly enriching myself while in office,” he declared.
