President Muhammadu Buhari has renewed his vow to leave office in 2023, warning his supporters to stop the unconstitutional campaign for his extension.
Gatekeepers News reports that the President stated this on Friday during a meeting with some Nigerian residents in Makkah, Saudi Arabia.
Buhari also noted that for the rest of “eighteen months or so of my time left, whatever I can do to improve the life of Nigerians, I will do it for the country”.
“I swore by the Holy Qur’an that I will serve in accordance with the constitution and leave when my time is up. No “Tazarce’’ (tenure extension),” Buhari said.
“I don’t want anybody to start talking about and campaigning for an unconstitutional extension. I will not accept that.”
The President applauded Nigerians resident in Saudi Arabia for representing the country well and projecting its good image.
He further urged citizens at home to be fair to his administration at all times, asking critics to compare the security situations in the northeast and south-south in 2015 with the present.
“My problem is the North West where people are killing and stealing from one another. I had to be very hard on them and I will continue to be very hard until we put them in line and bring back order,” he said.
