365news gathered that Femi Adesina, the chief spokesperson for President Muhammadu Buhari, revealed that his boss is eager to leave office.
Adesina emphasized that holding a position of authority requires a lot of work and receives little gratitude from Nigerians.
In response to Buhari’s comment that he can’t wait to leave office, he made this revelation on Channels TV on Sunday night.
According to a DailyPost post from July, Buhari called his seven years in power “difficult” in a statement released under the name of his spokesperson, Garba Shehu.
The president, who said he was “eager to go”, disclosed this when he received some governors of the All Progressives Congress (APC), legislators and political leaders at his residence in Daura, Katsina State, during the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations.
Reacting to the development, Adesina said: “Those of us who have been with him since 2015 are also counting down, we can’t wait to leave.”
On why people want to get out of the presidency, Adesina said: “It’s a lot of responsibility and work, and may be little appreciation of the populace.
“So, by the time you are winding down, you can’t wait to go.
“It’s not a matter of Buhari hurrying out, it’s a matter of constitutional limitation, he has spent seven and a half years.”
