President Muhammadu Buhari has disclosed the reason he would not disclose the identity of his preferred successor in 2023.
President Buhari disclosed the reason on Wednesday in an exclusive interview he granted Channels Television.
While responding to a question about who his preferred candidate would be during the interview, he said: “It is (a) secret.
“No, I wouldn’t say because he may be eliminated if I mention.
“I better keep it.”
When asked if he was interested in who eventually succeeds him, Buhari responded: “No.
“Let him come, whoever it is.
“All important things, I’ll make sure that they are on record.
“Nobody should ask me to come and give any evidence in any court, otherwise whoever it is, he will be in trouble because all important things are on record.
“I think my legacy is that I try to make sure that we conduct ourselves with integrity.
“That means we stopped all the stealing as much as the system can allow; we stopped misappropriation and for Nigerians that is very important.”
