The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), on Saturday, in Abuja, said he never knew he would lead Nigeria let alone lead it twice as a military Head of State in 1983 and for two terms as a civilian President from 2015 to 2023.

“When we say the future of the country is in your hands, we are not doing you any favour. It is a fact of life. That is why I find it satisfying that I am having this interaction with you.

While asking the children what kind of Nigeria they want, the former military ruler underscored the importance of honesty, patriotism and unity in building a peaceful and prosperous nation. “The future starts with you. If you are going to be honest, it starts today, not when you get into public office or become a Managing Director. If you are going to be patriotic, it starts today, not when you have finished school,” he said.
