I’m leaving Nigeria better than I met it in 2015 – Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari has said he was confident that he would be leaving his office with Nigeria better in 2023 than he met it in 2015.

Buhari made this known in his farewell nationwide broadcast on Sunday morning.

“I am confident that I am leaving office with Nigeria better in 2023 than in 2015. I thank you all. And may God Bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” Buhari said.

He also appreciated millions of Nigerians who prayed and supported him during his illness in the first term of his office.

The President said he is constantly praying for those who helped succeed and Nigeria to thrive in peace.

He said, “I also want to use this opportunity to express my appreciation to a good number of Nigerians who provided their support and encouragement to help me navigate the exciting journey in moving Nigeria forward.

“I cannot and will not forget the millions who prayed for me during my illness in my first term of office. I am constantly praying for you and for Nigeria to thrive in peace.

“As I retire home to Daura, Katsina State, I feel fulfilled that we have started the Nigeria Re-Birth by taking the initial critical steps and I am convinced the in-coming administration will quicken the pace of this walk to see a Nigeria that fulfils its destiny to be a great nation.”
