Former President Muhammadu Buhari has disclosed he pays his bills from rent paid by his tenants.
Buhari insisted that he did not corruptly enrich himself while in office.
Speaking in Hausa during an All Progressives Congress (APC) caucus meeting held at the Presidential Banquet Hall, Katsina State, ahead of the local government elections, Buhari said it is difficult governing Nigeria.
He said: “Nigeria is a difficult country to govern, but most Nigerians are unaware. You will not understand the complexities of leadership and the country itself until you find yourself in the administrative position of the country.
“I look much better and healthier now than when I was the president of the country. Anybody that sees me now acknowledges that I look better than before.
“After my eight years as a civil president, I have only three houses; one in Daura and two in Kaduna. I have given one out for renting where I get money for feeding.
The former president stressed his commitment to leaving office without accusations of corruption. “Nobody can accuse me of illicit enrichment. I have nothing to hide”, he added.
