President Muhammadu Buhari said Monday that he has no plans to groom anyone to take over from him 2023.
The president said this when he received members of the Progressive in Academics (Pro-Acad) at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
He said naming a successor now would create problems for the would-be successor and those making such calls at this time.
“Succession, to me this is very funny. Because if I did find anybody I will create more problems for him or her. Let those who want to be President try as much as I did. I believe those who are interested need to know that I tried three times and the fourth time I thank God and technology, PVC. Before they announced the result on radio and television, they got the result and they said anybody who disagreed should go to court.
“Most of my supporters are looking for next day’s meal, they don’t have money to give to lawyers. So I said God dey! So, the fourth time because of technology they couldn’t rig the elections, so I won. So this time around I tried to work hard,” he said.
