Nigerians Are Harder to Lead Than Cattle and Sheep – Muhammadu Buhari

During the Presidential Inauguration Gala Night, Outgoing President Muhammadu Buhari expressed his thoughts on the challenges of leading Nigerians and he compared his experience with Nigerians to that of tending to his farm animals.

As his eight-year comes to an end, Buhari humorously remarked that Nigerians are more difficult to lead than his livestock.

During his speech at the State House Conference Centre in the Presidential Villa, Abuja, Muhammadu Buhari emphasized his eagerness to return to his hometown of Daura, Katsina State, and tend to his cattles and sheep on his farm.

He also revealed his plans to downsize his livestock due to financial constraints after leaving office, as he anticipates a decrease in funds available for purchasing feed.

He said:

“I am looking forward to tomorrow to fly to my base to go and meet my cattle and sheep, which are much easier to control than fellow Nigerians. But I have to reduce their number, because I cannot save enough to buy them feeds.”

The FEC comprises the President, Vice President, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Chief of Staff, Head of Service, and Ministers.

Today, May 29th, President-elect Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been sworn in as Nigeria’s next leader, succeeding President Buhari.

The transition of power marks a significant moment in the country’s political landscape.
