Public analysts and former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani has reacted to the statement by President Muhamadu Buhari on Thursday in Nasarawa State where he said he couldn’t wait to become a former President.

Naija News reports Buhari made the statement during his visit to the Emir of Lafia where he promised not to stay any longer in office than constitutionally allowed.

It will be recalled as earlier reported by this platform that Buhari reiterated his resolve not to extend his stay in office beyond the constitutionally allowed time.

The President on Thursday vowed to hand over to his successor on May 29, 2023, as stipulated in Nigeria’s constitution.

He said apart from the constitutional requirement, he swore with the Holy Quran and is therefore liable to God to uphold his oath.

Buhari said he was looking forward to becoming a former President.

Reacting to the statement, Shehu Sani took to the micro-blogging site, Twiter to say the statement shows Buhari is really tired.

He wrote: “The President reportedly said he’s eager to become “ex president”….he is surely tired.”
