President Muhammadu Buhari has declared that nobody can blackmail him on inexplicable wealth and illicit enrichment while in office, saying "I do not have one square-inch outside Nigeria.
Buhari recounted that the threat was particularly pervasive across the North East geopolitical zone with Yobe State as one of the most hit by the terrorists. “In the end, I was also locked up. So, if you want to serve this country you must be prepared for the worst. But one thing that I am grateful to God for is that nobody can blackmail me. I do not have one-square inch outside Nigeria and I intend to stay in Nigeria when I retire from public office.”“Between 2003 and 2019, I visited all the local government areas in this country.
The President also acknowledged the cooperation of Nigeria’s neighbours in the fight against insurgency, recalling that his first visit outside the country in 2015 was to Niger and Chad, to garner support on tackling the misguided sect. Equally, he requested the takeover of the State University Teaching Hospital, including the Maternity and Child Health Complex.
