President Muhammadu Buhari has retreated his prudent nature, saying the only house he has is still the one in Daura, Katsina State.
Buhari is believed to be an austere person, as against many of his colleagues in politics and military who are not only flamboyant but are very corrupt.
His prudent habit is one of the factors that attracted winning votes for him, although many have accused his of not being able to tame the excesses of his aides.
He spoke about his house on Saturday when he hosted a large delegation of the Abuja community led by the FCT minister, Mohammed Bello, at the State House, Abuja.
He noted:
“I haven’t built an extra house in Daura. Those who know me know that I have one house and that is where I will retire to,” Buhari said.

The President said after leaving office, he will retire to his hometown of Daura, Katsina State, far away from the epicentre of the 2023 political activities.
In his address earlier, the FCT minister thanked the President for opening his doors to his neighbours for one last time.
‘The Punch’ also reports that while noting that the Christmas visit will be the last in the Buhari regime, Bello expects gratitude that the meeting is held after it was halted for two years, 2020 and 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Speaking on behalf of the President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, the CAN Vice President of the and President of Evangelical Church Winning All, Stephen Panya said the Christian community is in “full support “ of Buhari’s efforts to lift Nigerians out of poverty.
“The Christian community is fully in support of your efforts and praying that God will bless your effort to end the suffering of your citizens and to help you finish well,” said Panya.
The President also received a goodwill message from the Senator representing the Kogi West constituency, Smart Adeyemi.
The highlight of the meeting was the presentation of a life-size Christmas Card signed by the FCT minister and his deputy, Ramatu Aliyu.
