Outgoing President Buhari confers GCFR honour on Incoming President Tinubu

President Muhammadu Buhari, has conferred the National Honour of Grand Commander of Order of Federal Republic, (GCFR) on Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the president-elect.

The honour was conferred during the Investiture Ceremony that took place in Abuja on Thursday morning, May 25.

Outgoing President Muhammadu Buhari will handover to incoming President Bola Tinubu on May 29.

Few days ago, Buhari said he is desperately waiting to end his last days in office as President.

He said this during that Regimental Dinner organised in his honour by the Armed Forces at the newly commissioned Nigerian Armed Forces Officers’ Mess, Asokoro, Abuja on Tuesday, May 23.

According to him, he is under pressure and he could hardly cope as he look forward to ending his tenure.

“Please, I will like to digress a bit from the prepared speech. I apologise most sincerely for keeping you waiting for about at least half an hour, actually I can hardly cope with the pressure and I’m desperately looking forward for the next six days,” he said.

The President was joined by Secretary to the Government of the Federation Boss Mustapha; the Minister of Defense, Major General Salihi Magashi; the Chief of Defense Staff General Lucky Irabor and the Service Chiefs.

The President also recently commissioned the new Nigerian Customs Service headquarters buildings in Maitama District of the FCT, before virtually inaugurating six other projects across the country.
