Muhammadu Buhari, Nigeria’s president, has said he’s trying his best for Nigerians, but despite his best efforts, he’s still being harassed by some people.
The president said this in a documentary tagged “celebrating a patriot, a leader, an elder statesman” which was screened on Friday night at a private dinner organised by his family and close associates to celebrate his 80th birthday.
Speaking during the event, Buhari said there were some people who had made attempts to undermine his administration.
He said, “I believe I’m trying my best, but still my best is not good enough because there are people around that think that they can intimidate me to get what they want instead of going through certain systems to earn whatever they want to earn. And there are some people who want to be clever by half.”
Speaking further, President Buhari said he would not miss his time in office because he was being “harassed.”
“I wonder if I am going to miss much. I think I’m being harassed,” he added.
Also speaking at the event, the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, extolled President Buhari, describing him as a “forthright, good and kind man.”
Osinbajo added that “Mr. President is a very humorous man and I think he would make a very good career in entertainment one way or the other when he retires.”
