While committing not to serve beyond his constitutionally mandated two-term term, Buhari also remarked that leaders who swear by the holy book upon taking the oath of office must be mindful not to misuse the trust placed in them by the people.

“I have seen former governors here and I am looking forward to also becoming a former president,” Buhari stated.

He congratulated Umaru Tanko Al-Makura, the immediate past governor, and Abdullahi Sule, the incumbent governor, for the laudable initiatives and accomplishments in Nassarawa state.
