Nigeria President Muhammadu Buhari says, Nigeria neighbouring Niger Republic will defend him when he leaves office.
He reportedly “boasted about his cordial relationship with Niger Republic.”
Buhari stated this during the inauguration of the Nigeria Customs Service Corporate Headquarters in Abuja, on Tuesday.
According to him, if Nigerians make the country difficult to live in after the handover ceremony, Niger will defend him.
He also reaffirmed that he will relocate to his country home in Daura, which is far away from Abuja but closer to the Niger Republic.
“I said these few things about my personal belief because I have only six more days to go.
“I try to plan to be as far away from Abuja as possible. I came from an area that is far away from Abuja.
“I said if anybody with force moves, I have a good relationship with my neighbours. Niger people will defend me,” Buhari said.
President Muhammadu Buhari is going to vacate the Aso Presidential Villa on Monday, May 29, when he hands over to the President-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu. – DP
