To Rear Cows And Sheep Is Much Easier Than Nigerians – Buhari

Muhammadu Buhari, the outgoing president of Nigeria, has asserted that he finds it simpler to govern his sheep and livestock than his countrymen.

Buhari, who has served as president for the past eight years, will cede power to Bola Tinubu today.

In his remarks at a pre-inauguration gala on Sunday, Buhari stated that he wished to return to his hometown of Daura in Katsina State so that he could concentrate on his farm animals.

“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,” Daily Post quoted the President as saying.”

Tinubu, 71, was declared the winner of the 2023 presidential election by the Independent National Electoral Commission.

He has promised to restore hope but he will be confronted by economic and security challenges.

He will take the mantle of leadership amid soaring inflation, record debt burden, and insecurity across the country, including abductions, banditry and terrorism.

About 20 world leaders are expected to attend Tinubu’s inauguration with US and Chinese delegations already in the country.
