Abdullahi who described the president as a man of integrity, noted that his kind is rare amongst leaders in the country.
He said:
“I will miss Buhari after 2023 and there are millions of Nigerians who will, because when he says it is white, it is white and when he says it is black it is black.
“Whether you like him or not, you have to accept that Buhari has really done well for the country and has been through a lot to serve the nation.”
He stated further that the president possessed leadership qualities that were lacking in most Nigerian leaders especially in view of his unwavering stand against corruption as well as his exemplary lifestyle.
He said:
“You don’t have so many of such leaders in the country. He is not a ‘maradona’; he is not. He says things the way they are. It is very rare you find a leader with such courage."
Abdullahi said that the sincerity of President Buhari has helped in laying a strong foundation for the advancement of democracy and good governance in Nigeria.
He added:
“Those that are condemning Buhari are not doing so because he is under-performing, they are doing so because he is Buhari.
“We are not talking about that small group of people but the majority of Nigerians at the grassroots will miss the leadership qualities of the President."
