President Muhammadu Buhari has claimed that he has been a subject of harassment to people who want to accrue benefits in his government without following due processes.

Speaking in a documentary at a private dinner organised by his family and close associates to mark his 80th birthday tagged “Celebrating a Patriot, a Leader, an elder statesman”, Buhari added that he would not miss Aso Rock after he leaves office as his best to make the Country better is not good enough.

“I wonder if I am going to miss much. I think I’m being harassed. I believe I’m trying my best but still, my best is not good enough.

“Because there are people around that think that they can intimidate me to get what they want instead of going through certain systems to earn whatever they want to earn. And they are some people who want to be clever by half.”

While reacting to whether he is being cloned, he said some Nigerians are skilled rumour carriers and mischief makers, which demonstrate their cheekiness.

“People said I am somebody from Sudan (Jibril Aminu). I didn’t bother with the name. Nigerians have mischievous ways of explaining themselves.

“It’s not funny because those who made those statements, just want to be cheeky. They want to distract attention from the main issue. Our main issue is to do the infrastructure, make people aware that they need to work hard to live well. They just want to enjoy life without earning the respect of their community and so on.” Buhari said
