President Muhammadu Buhari has admitted that the pressure of office is impacting on him on account of his age.
He said he is looking forward for his tenure to end in the next 17 months so that he can go on a deserved rest.
He stated this while reacting to a question during an interview on NTA.
“About my age, I see my colleagues, they are now resting, and I assure you that I look forward to the next 17 months when I too will be less busy,“ he said.
“The age is telling on me, working now for six, seven to eight hours per day in the office is no joke; there are questions of executive council, memos from as many states as possible to be considered virtually every week. Really, it’s a lot of hard work, but as I’ve said, I asked for it and I cannot complain.
“I have been a governor, I have been a minister, and I’m in my second term as president. So, I’ve gone through all the system and really, what else can I do for this country? I have given my best.”
