Former President Muhammadu Buhari has revealed that he receives money to cover his feeding expenses by renting out one of his houses in Kaduna, a claim that has sparked public interest and raised questions about his financial activities post-presidency.
In a recent statement, Buhari disclosed that the proceeds from the rental of the property in Kaduna help support his living expenses, particularly food costs. The property, located in a prime area of the northern Nigerian city, has reportedly been generating income since he left office in 2023.
"My income from renting the house helps with my day-to-day needs," Buhari explained. "It is no secret that after serving as president, I had to find ways to sustain myself, and renting out one of my homes became a practical solution."
Buhari’s statement has drawn mixed reactions from the public. While some have expressed support for his transparent approach to managing his post-presidential finances, others have questioned the ethics of relying on rental income for personal expenses. Critics have also raised concerns about the disparity between his claims of modest living and the vast wealth of assets he may possess.
Former President Buhari has always maintained a modest profile during his tenure, often emphasizing his commitment to fighting corruption and living a simple life. His recent admission, however, seems to reveal a different side of his post-office life.
