Barely a week to his expiration, Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari has claimed that the neighbouring country Niger Republic will defend him when he leaves office.
Buhari, who will be handing over to President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Monday, May 29, 2023, boasted about his cordial relationship with Niger Republic.
Buhari said if Nigerians make the country difficult for him to live in after leaving office, Niger Republic will defend him.
Buhari, made this known while inaugurating Nigeria Customs Service Corporate Headquarters in Abuja, on Tuesday, reaffirmed that he will relocate to his country home in Daura, which is far away from Abuja but closer to the Niger Republic.
Buhari said, “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. I came from an area that is far away from Abuja.
“I said if anybody with force moves, I have a good relationship with my neighbours. Niger people will defend me.”
