President Buhari Says Age Is Telling On Him

In the concluding leg of his administration, President Muhammadu Buhari, has openly admitted that old age is telling on him.

The President, who turned 79 on December 17, 2021, who disclosed this in an interview with NTA, blamed part of it on the outbreak of COVID-19 and the rigours of managing the affairs of the nation.

Buttressing his claims, Buhari said the outbreak of COVID-19 greatly reduced the number of persons he receives on a daily basis at the Presidential Villa.

Buhari said he was not in a position to complain because he asked for the job of presiding over the affairs of the nation.

Speaking on politics, the President said the opposition can marshal the strength to grab power in 2023 if the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) fail to put its house in order.

Buhari said the APC should learn from the fate that befell the PDP in the 2015 general elections and not allow it occur in the 2023 elections.
