President Muhammadu Buhari |
President Muhammadu Buhari has
admitted that his age would limit his performance as the President of the
country.
Buhari who will turn 73 on December
17, 2015, admitted that he would have loved to be President when he was at a
younger age.
The President stated this when he
spoke with Nigerians resident in South Africa on Monday after taking part in
the 25th assembly of Heads of State and Government of the African Union in
Johannesburg.
Buhari said,
“I wish I became Head of State when I was a governor, just a few years as a young man. Now at 72, there is a limit to what I can do.” He, however, assured that his government would make a difference in Nigeria and “kill” corruption before it wrecks the nation.

“Our government is determined to
secure the country, manage the economy, create employment and fight corruption.
Some articulate writers have said if we do not kill corruption, corruption will
kill Nigeria. This APC administration intends to kill corruption in Nigeria. We
will do our best, I assure you,” Buhari said.
