The President made this known in a documentary aired at a private dinner organised by his family and close associates to mark his 80th birthday at the State House Banquet Hall on Friday, December 23, 2022.
Responding to questions in the documentary, Buhari said, “I wonder if I am going to miss much. I think I’m being harassed. I believe I’m trying my best but still, my best is not good enough. Because there are people around that think that they can intimidate me to get what they want instead of going through certain systems to earn whatever they want to earn. And they are some people who want to be clever,”
On the viral rumour of his death and purported replacement by a body double named Jubril from Sudan, the President described the development as “not a funny joke.”
