Buhari: I look forward to taking care of my cows, sheep

President Muhammadu Buhari says he is ready to retire to his country home in Daura, Katsina State, to take care of his cows and sheep.

Buhari stressed that the cattle are much easier to control than Nigerians, adding that the 2023 general election gave power back to the Nigerian electorate.

The President said this at a gala and dinner held in Abuja on Sunday, May 28.

While praising the outcome of the elections, Buhari congratulated Nigerians for realising that they had power in their votes and that their ballots counted.

“Your Excellencies, Heads of State and Government, and their representatives, I thank you very much and I say goodbye to you and wish us the best of luck.”

World leaders at the event included the Presidents of South Africa, Sierra Leone, and Ghana.
