Former President Muhammadu Buhari has revealed that his health has significantly improved since leaving office on May 29, 2023.
Buhari, who handed over to President Bola Tinubu after completing two terms in office, attributed the improvement to reduced pressures of leadership. While in office, the former president faced health challenges that required him to seek medical attention abroad.
Speaking during an All Progressives Congress (APC) stakeholders’ meeting at the Katsina State Government House, Buhari reflected on the demands of governing Nigeria, suggesting they had taken a toll on his health.
“Those outside the corridors of power do not understand the complexities and difficulties facing Nigeria,” Buhari said.
The former president also noted that visitors have remarked on his improved appearance since his departure from the presidency.
“People who visited me told me I look better than before,” he added.
Buhari’s comments highlight the immense strain that comes with leading Africa’s most populous nation.
