With only 38 days left in office after years, the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), on Friday, in Abuja, asked Nigerians hurt by his policies for a pardon.
Buhari described himself as a lucky and fulfilled politician, having served as military governor of Born State in 1976, Minister of Petroleum Resources in the same ear and onetime Head of State (1983 – 1985).
He thanked citizens for “tolerating” his eight-year regime, which began when he was sworn in as President on May 29, 2015.
