Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari has come out to say that he is looking forward to returning to his farm in 2023.

He recently revealed this at his surprise birthday event in Turkey, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, he can’t wait for the expiration of his tenure in 2023, when he will hand over power to a new president and return to tending to his farm for the rest of his days.

Buhari, however, promised to give his best in his remaining time in office.

His words, “I thought being away from Abuja I will escape these things. The Guards Brigade had written to tell me what they wanted to do on this day. Now here you are doing this far away from home.”

“I look forward to the year 2023 when I finish and I go (back) home to take charge of my farm. Between now and that time, I will do the best that is possible to advance the interest of the nation and its people, and carry out my duties as prescribed by the constitution.”
