President Muhammadu Buhari, on Monday, described his seven years in office as “tough” saying “I am eager to go.”

According to a statement signed by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu; Buhari said this when he received some governors of the All Progressives Congress, legislators; as well as political leaders at his residence in Daura, Katsina State.

Lamenting the toll his official duties have taken on him in the last seven years; President Buhari told the visiting governors and political leaders that he had not been to his house in Daura for close to a year; due to the demands of office.

He said, “The observation that I abandoned my base was made by the Emir of Daura; Dr. Faruk Umar Faruk, at the eid prayer ground. He held the microphone and told everyone that the last time I was in Daura was during the Eid-el-Kabir of 2021.”

“In ten to eleven months’ time, I will come here. I have a better house in Kaduna, but it is too close to Abuja.”

The President explained that the schedule of work was much; saying he recently had to sympathise with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyema; who had to be away most of the time from his family.
