Hanan Buhari, the daughter of outgoing President Muhammadu Buhari, has praised her father as a “silent achiever.”
Buhari has been inaugurating projects across the country in his final week in office as his second term comes to an end.
Hanan shared a photo of her father on Instagram Stories on Monday, during the launch of two new warships and a review of the naval fleet in Lagos.
My father…The Silent Achiever! she captioned it.
Buhari, who is set to leave office next week, will hand over the presidency to Bola Tinubu on Monday.
Meanwhile, President Buhari joked that if he ran into trouble after leaving office, he might seek refuge in neighboring Niger Republic.
During the inauguration of the N19.6 billion Nigeria Customs Service Corporate headquarters in Abuja on Tuesday, Buhari said;
I try to plan to be as far away from Abuja as possible. I came from an area which is far away from Abuja. If anybody with force moves, I have a good relationship with my neighbours. Niger people will defend me.
Buhari stated that his first official trip upon assuming office as Nigeria’s President was to visit the Niger Republic, Chad, and Cameroon to solidify the country’s relationships with these nations.
The President, who previously ruled Nigeria as a military Head of State between 1983 and 1985 and was democratically elected in 2015, emphasized;
If you don’t secure the confidence of your neighbour, you are in trouble. If you are not in trouble, your children and grandchildren will be in trouble. So it is very good I established relationships with my neighbours.
