Our own generation is on the last lap, we are going – Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday said they are on the verge of leaving the stage for another generation.

According to him, his generation is on the last lap and is about to bow out.

Buhari spoke at the State House in Abuja, while receiving in audience the Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations, UN, Amina Mohammed.

Commenting on the recent End SARS protests and destruction of public and private properties that followed, Buhari said: “Our own generation is on the last lap, we are exiting,” a statement by his spokesman, Femi Adesina quoted Buhari as saying this.

He added that, “It is in the interest of the youths to keep the peace. They want jobs, infrastructure and development. I have sent a team led by the Chief of Staff (Professor Ibrahim Gambari) to go round the country, talk to traditional rulers, who will then talk to the youths. The views of the youths have been heard.”
