Old Age Will Limit My Performance As President, Says Muhammadu Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari has admitted that his age would limit his performance as the President of the country.

Buhari who will turn 73 on December 17, 2015, admitted that he would have loved to be President when he was at a younger age.

The President stated this when he spoke with Nigerians resident in South Africa on Monday after taking part in the 25th assembly of Heads of State and Government of the African Union in Johannesburg.

Buhari said, “I wish I became Head of State when I was a governor, just a few years as a young man. Now at 72, there is a limit to what I can do.”

He, however, assured that his government would make a difference in Nigeria and “kill” corruption before it wrecks the nation.

“Our government is determined to secure the country, manage the economy, create employment and fight corruption. Some articulate writers have said if we do not kill corruption, corruption will kill Nigeria.

This APC administration intends to kill corruption in Nigeria. We will do our best, I assure you,” Buhari said.
