My Government Was Transparent, Accountable, No Secrecy- Buhari

Former President Muhammadu Buhari affirms that he conducted all his activities in office openly and without resorting to secrecy.

Buhari stated that he led a transparent government and maintained accountability during his eight years as President.

He handed over to President Bola Tinubu, his party man, on May 29, 2023.

During the launch event, the former President spoke about two publications: ‘Working with Buhari: Reflections of a Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, 2015 – 2023,’ authored by Femi Adesina, and a set of five books titled ‘Muhammadu Buhari: The Nigerian Legacy’ (2015 – 2023), edited by Dr. Udu Yakubu.

“But the fact in our favor is that nothing was done under the veil of secrecy. We were as transparent and accountable as possible, being aware of the fact that posterity was the ultimate judge,” Buhari said

“We kept records of our stewardship, knowing that we would always be required to account for the trust entrusted to us.

“This event today is part of accounting for our two terms in office, and I thank those who have labored day and night, to ensure that this history is recorded for now and the future.

“Government is a continuum. It is like a relay race. You run your course, and hand over the baton to the next person,” he said.

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