The president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari has spoken about his having another term in office as the nation’s head of state.

At a meeting in Makkah with a select group of Nigerian resident in Saudi Arabia, Buhari stated that he will be leaving office come May 29, 2023, and has warned people campaigner for elongation of his tenure to desist forthwith.

“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). I don’t want anybody to start talking about and campaigning for unconstitutional extension. I will not accept that.” Buhari stated.

The President commended diaspora Nigerians in the Saudi Arabia for representing the country well and projecting its good image.

He also used the opportunity to urge citizens at home to be fair to his administration at all times, asking the critics to compare the security situations in the North East and South South in 2015 and how things have improved as at now.

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.
