Outgoing President Muhammadu Buhari has said that the 2023 general elections gave power back to the Nigerian electorate.
He spoke at a gala and dinner held on Sunday in Abuja.
While praising the outcome of the elections, Buhari congratulated fellow Nigerians for realising that they had power in their votes and that their ballots counted.
“I am looking forward to tomorrow (Monday) to fly to my base and go back to my cows and sheep, which are much easier to control than fellow Nigerians.
“Your Excellencies, Heads of State and Government, and their representatives, I thank you very much and I say good bye to you and wish us the best of luck”, he said.
World leaders at the event included the Presidents of South Africa, Sierra Leone and Ghana.
