Buhari reveals health has improved since leaving office as president

On Monday, January 27, 2025, former President Muhammadu Buhari shared that his health has significantly improved since he left office on May 29, 2023.
Speaking at an All Progressives Congress (APC) stakeholders’ meeting at the Katsina State Government House, Buhari explained that he feels better now than during his time in office. During his presidency, Buhari faced health challenges that sometimes required him to travel abroad for medical treatment. He handed over the reins to President Bola Tinubu after completing two terms in office.
Buhari reflected on the difficulties of leading Nigeria and how the pressures of the presidency impacted his health. “Those outside the corridors of power do not understand the complexities and difficulties facing Nigeria,” he said. He also mentioned that many people who visited him after leaving office noticed the positive change. “My health has improved since leaving office. People who visited me told me I look better than before,” he added.
