Niger Republic will defend me after I leave office, Buhari confesses

Few days to the expiration of his administration, President Muhammadu Buhari has made a shocking revelation.

The outgoing Nigerian president said the people of Niger Republic would defend him if anyone moved against him after leaving office.

TRACKNEWS reports that Buhari disclosed this at the commissioning of the new corporate headquarters of the Nigeria Customs Service, NCS, in Abuja.

Buhari also insisted that he wants to be far away from Abuja at the end of his administration.

He said:

“That is why when I became the President, my first visit was to Niger, Chad and Cameroon because, based on personal and national issues, the neighbourhood is very important.

“If you don’t secure the confidence and cooperation of your neighbours, you are in trouble, your children and grandchildren will be in trouble.

“So it is very good that I established a relationship with my neighbours. I said these few things about my personal belief because I have only six more days to go. And I try to plan to be as far away from Abuja as possible.

‘’Thank goodness, I come from an area which is far away from Abuja. I said if anybody forces me, I have a good relationship with my neighbours, Niger people will defend me.”
