President Muhammadu Buhari has disclosed that he would run to neighbouring Niger Republic to seek a safe haven if disturbed or there is trouble after he leaves office on May 29, 2023.
Buhari is set to vacate the Aso Presidential Villa on Monday, May 29, when he hands over to President-elect, Bola Tinubu.
The President said the country will defend him when he leaves office because he has cordial relationship with Niger Republic.
According to him, if Nigerians make the country difficult to live in after the handover ceremony, Niger will defend him.
Buhari stated this during the inauguration of the Nigeria Customs Service Corporate Headquarters in Abuja, on Tuesday.
He also reaffirmed that he will relocate to his country home in Daura, which is far away from Abuja but closer to the Niger Republic.
“I said these few things about my personal belief because I have only six more days to go.
“And I try to plan to be as far away from Abuja as possible. I came from an area that is far away from Abuja.
“I said if anybody with force moves, I have a good relationship with my neighbours. Niger people will defend me,” Buhari said.
