The meeting allowed Ooni of Ife to engage in meaningful dialogue, facilitating an understanding of Buhari’s new life after his tenure in office.
“I can happily tell the whole of Nigeria that he’s living super well. When you see him, you will be completely shocked at how relaxed and vibrant he is, radiating good spirit. He looks remarkably younger than his age, and God has truly blessed him with renewed good health.”
He explained that Buhari’s unique experiences as a former military and civilian President have the potential to ease governance challenges for the current administration.
The first-class monarch and Buhari delved into a multitude of essential topics critical to Nigeria’s ongoing development with the current administration.
