I’m battling to cope with last-minute pressure Says Buhari









The president of the federal republic of Nigeria Muhammad Buhari has said he is  battling to cope with last-minute pressure as his administration winds down next week Monday. 





Buhari  spoke on Tuesday night at the Regimental Dinner organised in his honour by the Armed Forces at the newly commissioned Nigerian Armed Forces Officers’ Mess, Asokoro in Abuja. 

He was accompanied by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha; the Minister of Defence, Maj. Gen. Salihi Magashi; the Chief of Defense Staff, Gen. Lucky Irabor, and Service chiefs. 

The President said he could not wait to exit office in four days as the pressures of the last lap of activities were taking a toll on him. 

MHe said he had been under immense pressure catching up with the array of events lined out for the transition, coupled with wrapping up official duties of his office.

He had inaugurated the new Nigerian Customs Service Headquarters in Maitama District of the FCT, before virtually inaugurating six other projects across the country.

He also presided over another extraordinary Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting from midday till late Tuesday, before heading out for the Regimental Dinner.
